TURA: The Garo Students’ Union (GSU) from Ampati in South West Garo Hills along with other organisations including the AYC and AAYF has urged the district administration to stop the plying of overloaded trucks supplying boulders through the region to Bangladesh.
In a statement issued here on Monday, the union said that the newly constructed state highway is sustaining damage due to the plying of heavily loaded trucks and demanded for an immediate stop to the activities.
The union also threatened to stage a night road blockade on November 1 with other organisations if its plea is ignored.
“The district administration should take immediate steps to stop the plying of the trucks otherwise we will go ahead with our proposed agitation,” the union warned.
It may be mentioned that earlier on August 3 the union had submitted a memorandum to the deputy commissioner demanding that it put a stop to the plying of the trucks.
