Ukhrul, November 10:
The Ukhrul District Small Vehicle Owners Association (UDSVOA) has strongly resented the arrest of two of its members on October 31 by 19 AR.
During a press meet held at Press Club Ukhrul , UDSVOA president Asui Halang and its executive members stated that MY Wungreiyo of Nungshong village and T Peace of Chingjaroi village are innocent taxi drivers who were haired by one Sophayo in the morning of the same day from Ukhrul, bearing Bolero registration no.MN O5A1369 black in colour and another Bolero LX silver bearing registration no 3858.According to the statements the two were the members of the association (UDSVOA) for quite sometime and branding them as so called NNLA was fabricated baseless and without any foundation.
The association fervently appeals the concern authority to release the two drivers without further delay as keeping the innocent person in the police custody for more than 24 hours is objectionable.
When this correspondent contacted the Lamlai Police station, they admitted that the four arrested persons were handed over to the Lamlai PS.
Out of the four persons arrested two of them happenned to be innocent where as the other two was said to be joining the NNLA recently said the police sources.
