Thoubal, April 25 2015 :
Protesting the move of Thoubal Municipal Council in regard to the allotment of vendor plot in Thoubal Keithel, women fishmongers today launched a hunger strike at Thoubal Wangmataba waiting shed, reports our correspondent.
Speaking to reporters, one woman fishmonger said, "Reports of agreement between the women fishmongers and Thoubal Municipal Council in some local dailies was untrue.
Neglecting our grievances by Thoubal Municipal Council and Chief Minister is unfortunate.
Thoubal Municipal Council had asked for xerox copy of our vendor license cards.
However, no response has been initiated in this regard till now" .
The hunger strike will continue until their grievance is heard and resolved, she added.
