Imphal, March 02 2015:
The ground floor of Yangangpokpi Market Shed at Yangangpokpi Keithel was inaugurated at a function on Monday with Lamlai MLA Ksh Biren as the Chief Guest.
The market shed is being constructed with Manipur Development Society as the executing agency.
During the ceremony, Biren remarked that the market has a strategic significance since Yangangpokpi village is situated at the converging point of three districts namely Imphal East, Ukhrul and Senapati.
Stating that people from different communities who inhabit the village and nearby areas can ply their wares at the market shed, he promised addition of two more floors there very soon for the convenience of traders as well as other local residents.
According to Biren, the proposed structure will possess all the necessary features of a modern building in terms of design and materials used.
Under the existing plans, the first floor will be developed into a shopping centre while the second will accommodate a hall where local residents can organise meetings and functions, he added.
However, according to the demands of the situation, the shopping centre can be extended to the second floor as well, he added.
He promised that the allotment of shops will be carried out in a fair manner and other basic amenities like toilet complex will also be built at the market.
Biren further asserted that development works in Lamlai constituency have been going on without a stop.
He said there is good availability of water after the completion of cleaning of Naibi River and development of sports grounds and community halls in the constituency is progressing smoothly.
The chairman of Yangangpokpi Bazar Shops and Vendors Association S Deven also attended the function.
