Imphal, April 24 2021:
All Manipur Nupi Marup questioned on what ground the decision to close down Ima Keithel for 10 days has been taken while other shops in the market has been allowed to open on roster.
M Sakhi Devi, president of All Manipur Nupi Marup, said this in a statement issued today and also expressed concerned regarding the unusual price hike of essential commodities in the wake of Covid-19 'second wave' which has grasped the nation.
She added in the statement that such selfish motive should be put on hold and the Government also should look into this issue as this has put unnecessary burden on the public in this trying.
All Manipur Nupi Marup also appealed the Government to take up steps to increase people turnout for vaccination, step up awareness programme.
The statement added that some businessmen are taking matter into their own hand and fixing new prices which are way higher than usual, this is unacceptable and the Government and relevant authority/department should intervene in this regard so that prices can be fixed for all essential commodities.
