Condemn cleanliness drive of Imphal Municipal Corporation
4th April 2015:
NEFIS strongly condemns Imphal Municipal Corporation’s recent cleanliness drive under which women street vendors are being prevented to sell vegetables on the footpath.
While the Imphal Municipal Corporation seems to be very worried about the cleanliness of streets it is least worried about the women street vendors and their families.
Women Street vendors come from poor and marginalized section of society and they are the source of income for their children.
Such class biased drives run by IMC are going to do serious damage to the families of street vendors. Imphal Municipal Corporation must immediately stop this or NEFIS will use its democratic means to wage struggle against it.
Thanking You
