Heavy security force escorts 715 empty oil tankers, LPG bullet tankers, FCI trucks

All necessary preparations have been made since late last evening to escort empty oil tankers, LPG bullet tankers and FCI trucks, numbering about 715, to Jiribam today at 8.30 am in Manipur's Senapati as the state has been reeling under shortage of all essential commodities, including fuel. Additional security personnel have been deployed for duty along the Imphal-Jiribam road from today and security personnel have been sent on ROP duty along the said stretch of the highway. As part of the strict security arrangements being taken up, the District Magistrate of Tamenglong had yesterday issued prohibitory orders under CrPC 144 all over the entire district.
