Imphal, October 19 2022:
The Joint Action Committee Street Vendors has appealed to the Government and the authorities concerned to look into the plight of the vendors and allow them to vend as earlier.
At Press Club today, the JAC secretary, Sh Rajendro said those who have been vending for a long time on the streets in and around Khwairamband Bazar are not able to carry out their businesses as usual.
Even though the police had allowed them to sell at the temporary market, the street vendors found the same complex occupied by new vendors when they came the next morning.
In view of the coming Ningol Chakouba festival and considering the hardship they are facing in finding places to sell their goods, Rajendro appealed to the Government and the authorities concerned to allow them to sell their goods as usual.
