Around 1,000 Trucks Stranded on NH-37 Between Jiribam and Jirighat Amid Security Convoy Shortage
Around 1,000 trucks and oil tankers carrying essential supplies to Imphal were stranded between Jiribam and Jirighat in Assam's Cachar district on July 26 due to insufficient security convoys along National Highway-37. Despite increasing convoy sizes and deploying eight CRPF companies, the growing traffic and poor road conditions have caused delays of up to five days for loaded vehicles. Transporters' representatives have urged authorities to enhance security arrangements and repair the highway to ease supply chain disruptions.
