Imphal, July 08 2015 :
Some vegetable sellers from Mao arrived at Imphal on Wednesday for the second time.
As in the last visit they sold the vegetables at Naga Mapal where they had pitched up plastic sheets.
They brought various items and people converged there to buy everything at record time.
They brought potato, cabbage, beans, squash and other green vegetables.
Some activists however are not happy that the government has not done much for these vendors.
They appreciated the announcement of the Home Minister that except for three check posts from Mao to Imphal there is no such obstacle.
However they said that there are several state forces here and there.
One woman vendor however said that on their way from Mao on Wednesday there was no harassment from the state forces' personnel.
Gaikhangam had already said that two marketing spaces will be allotted to the vendors coming from Mao.
Angami organisations in Nagaland had prevented them from coming to the state.
Two shops were ransacked.
Even students had to rush back to Mao.
