MDTOA temporarily lifts ‘chakka bandh’

Mokokchung District Truck Owners Association (MDTOA) temporarily lifted the chakka bandh, beginning 12 noon of November 24, in the greater interest of the general public. Informing of this in a press release, MDTOA president, Sangyumongba Ao and general secretary Imtisumak stated that after four days bandh, MDTOA “strongly felt the plight of the general public, not only of the Mokokchung district but also of our sister districts especially Tuensang and Zunheboto.” MDTOA said that the chakka bandh was also lifted in response to the call of the Ao Senden and also influenced by the little visible improvements at the worse parts of NH–702D. They, however, warned that the lifting of the bandh was a gesture of goodwill to the general public and to facilitate the district administration and PWD (NH) to finish their work. If no visible improvements were seen or experienced, MDTOA said it would be compelled to initiate more drastic actions.
