Imphal, July 10 2019:
As a goodwill gesture to help the roadside vendors whose shops at forest reserved area were dismantled by the Forest Department yesterday, Thangmeiband AC MLA Khumukcham Joykisan has provided Rs 1 lakh assistance to the JAC against forced eviction of Guigailong road side tribal vendors, which has begun staging an indefinite protest at Langol Tarung, today.
Speaking to media persons while meeting the protesters, Joykisan said that he decided to provide the monetary support to the committee as the shops were owned by persons from economically backward families.
The MLA also assured that he will continue to help the locals of Langol Tarung to meet their livelihood needs in the future too.
Later, the Chairman of the area expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the MLA for understanding the plight of the victims and extending his helping hand.
