IMPHAL, Sep 21 NNN : Imphal-Ukhrul passenger bus service has ceased from Saturday after the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) (Tangkhul Naga organization) allegedly issued threat to the bus owners over non-payment of monthly subscription.
Sources in Imphal-Ukhrul Bus Association said that every bus owner had been paying Rs 12,000 to TNL each month however it was stopped by the association sometime back after the Naga organization turned a blind eye over its request to ban service by other passenger vehicles along the route.
TNL had detained six passenger buses belonging to the association over non-payment of subscription on September 19, but luckily the drivers along with the vehicles somehow escaped from their clutches yesterday, they said.
Following the incident TNL has threatened the bus association to send back all the six drivers to their custody warning that no more passenger bus can ply on the road from today, the sources added.
