Imphal, February 07 2014 :
The women vendors of the temporary market sheds of Khwairamband Keithel have drawn the attention of the authorities concerned to look into the issue of non-local male vendors tarnishing the sanctity of all-women market.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, President of Social Upliftment Organization W Satyabati said that the State Government has protected the three new women's market complexes of Khwairamband Keithel, but the temporary market sheds are in a sorry state with many non-local male vendors selling goods besides the women vendors.
The sanctity of Khwairamband Keithel, being the one and only all-women market in the world, has been tarnished by the male vendors.
She questioned if the officials of Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) have given them vendors' license to sell goods among the women vendors at the temporary market sheds.
The authorities concerned should look into the issue and preserve the sanctity of Khwairamband Keithel, Satyabati enjoined.
