Imphal, November 27:
All inter-State bus service to Guwahati, Shillong and Dimapur from Imphal operating under the All Manipur Inter-State Bus Association will be suspended from tomorrow.
A statement issued by the Association informed that the decision to suspend bus service was compelled by the huge monetary demand made by Athouba and Tiger who identified themselves as belonging to Finance section of PREPAK.
The bus owners had given certain amount of money to the same outfit and came to an understanding earlier but they (Athouba and Tiger) have been threatening the bus owners with dire consequences including arson and vandalisation of vehicles if their demands are not met.
They also claimed that they had no idea of the money given to the outfit earlier, informed the statement.
Appealing to the people to bear with the inconveniences, the Association also appealed to all groups concerned to clarify on the puzzling situation.
