In the midst of escalating communal clashes and communication disruptions, Manipur has found a lifeline in the form of the NH-37 route from the Jiribam District. Assam Rifles, in close coordination with state forces, has played a pivotal role in restoring peace and facilitating the transportation of essential supplies, fuel, and medicines to the region.
Since the commencement of convoy movements on May 14, 2023, a remarkable 7700 trucks have been safely escorted by the Assam Rifles and other security forces along NH-37. This proactive approach, which involved collaboration with community leaders, truck union representatives, and driver motivation, has been instrumental in overcoming initial reluctance and apprehensions among truck drivers.
The unwavering commitment of the Assam Rifles in ensuring the uninterrupted flow of this vital lifeline cannot be undermined. False narratives against the force must not overshadow their significant contributions. The current situation serves as a wake-up call for the people of Manipur to identify their true friends and collectively strive for lasting peace in the state.
