Imphal, November 09 2020:
Police barred the traders of Khwairamband Keithel from entering the Keithel today.
Around 11.30 am women folks marched towards the Keithel but they were stopped at Shamu Makhong by the police personnel.
RK Sanatombi president of Mayang Lang Phijoi Yonbi said that they were going to the Keithel to hold a meeting only to request the Government to allow them sell clothes for Ningol Chakkouba adhering to the SOPs published by the Government.
As Ningol Chakkouba is around the corner and being one of the major festival of Manipur, she appealed to the Government to arrange an alternative for them at the earliest and allow them to sell the collected clothes especially for Ningol Chakkouba since most of the shops in Bazar are opened and only Khwairamband Keithel is restricted from opening.
