Imphal, Nov 18: Transporters cancelled all their services between Manipur and neighbouring states following a 48-hour bandh in Senapati district, officials said today.

It also threatened to launch a series of agitation after the bandh.

An SHDDC statement had earlier said they would not be responsible for any consequences during the 48-hour bandh at Sadar Hills area.

Official sources said more than 200 buses and trucks plied everyday between Manipur and neighbouring states through the two National Highways. Hundreds of passengers were stranded at different places because of the SHDDC-sponsored bandh, reports said. Bureau Report
