Leyland awaits UN nod to ship 3,322 trucks

 The delivery of the cargo trucks, however, has not been facilitated because normalcy has yet not returned to that country.  Infrastructure facilities like ports to receive the cargo have not been made functional yet and a system is yet to be put into place where the transfer of trucks from India to Iraq can be made possible.  Ashok Leyand officials said that the vehicles are ready and can be shipped to Iraq at short notice.  However, there are no clear indications when the necessary arrangements will be made in that country so that the trucks can be sent there.  The transfer of the trucks will take place through the Office of the Iraq Programme (OIP) of the UN.  The OIP has advised Indian suppliers not to ship goods unless they received specific instructions from the relevant UN agency.
