Imphal, October 17 2009:
All Manipur State Light and Light Medium Vehicle Transports' Union has urged the State Transport Authority to issue stage permit to the transporters instead of issuing them contract permit.
Addressing media persons today at the Manipur Press Club hall, general secretary of the AMSLLMVTU, M Brojendro Luwang said, altercations between the bus owners and light and light medium vehicle owner have ensued often due to the issuance of contract permit to the light and light-medium vehicles including Tata Magic, Tata Winger and Diesel-Auto.
He urged the government to frame new policy in order to end the quarrel.
Brojendro cautioned that the light and light medium vehicles owners will surrender the permits along with the vehicles to the transport authority if the authority fails to fulfill the demand of the union by October 24 .
He said the due payment of the vehicle owners in purchasing their vehicles will be borne by government.
