Imphal, April 10 2016:
Models and designers, who have not participated in the Jewel Queen Contest protesting ill-treatment meted out to them by the organisers, tried to storm MFDS auditorium where the grand finale of the contest was going on tonight.
The contest was held as part of the 1st Manipur Industrial Expo 2016 organised by Commerce and Industries Department.
The models and designers suddenly emerged from Hapta Kangjeibung side and went inside the MFDS complex holding placards.
However, police prevented them from entering into the auditorium where the grand finale was going on.

Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam was also watching the show at that time.
Within a few minutes, women police personnel also arrived at the complex to control the agitating models and designers.
The models said that they wanted to talk to the organisers especially the Commissioner (Commerce and Industries).
After the arrival of Imphal East SP Angam Kamei Romanus, the models and designers were brought outside MFDS complex.
However, they staged protest at the gate of MFDS holding placards.
After engaging in an argument with the police, the models and designers were taken to Porompat police station.
It may be mentioned that they had submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister complaining ill-treatment to State contestants yesterday.
