Jiribam, March 06 2019:
Women vendors of Ima Keithel at Jiribam have expressed their disappointment over the delayed in opening the newly constructed women market after the Chief Minister of Manipur N Biren Singh had personally inaugurated it in September last year.
They said that most of the women markets constructed and inaugurated in different districts of Manipur by the CM are now opened and fully functional Manipur but the one built at main bazar, Babupara, Jiribam having capacity of accommodating 250 women vendors which was inaugurated on September 19 last year by CM N Biren Singh remained non-operational and inaccessible to women vendors.
Saying that the delayed in opening the said market is unfounded, public of Jiribam questioned the motive behind such procrastination.
Regarding the matter, Gen Secy of Jiribam Ima Keithel Chaokhat Thourang Lup (JIKCTL), N Khumalei Devi lamented the prolonged time taken to open Ima Keithel and urged the authority concerned to look into the matter so that women vendors can start sale of their products in one and only women market in Jiribam district.
