Zeme Youth Organisation Nagaland (ZYON), which took up the task of diversion of commercial vehicles along shortcut Pimla junction road since January 14, 2019, Monday informed that the restrictions have been lifted with effect from March 2, 2019.
In a press release, ZYON general secretary, Rampau Haining Zeliang, said restriction was imposed owing to “unabated unauthorised illegal taxation, harassment and extortion of commuters” since the opening of the road in 2009. Following a joint meeting of Aqahuto Area GB Union (ATKK) and ZYON with Zeme Council Nagaland held on February 23 and March 2, ZYON said after a written assurance of ATKK to take responsibility of stopping such illegal activities, ZYON lifted the restrictions.
