There is no rule as such which allows Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) to levy tax from shopkeepers of Sunday Market which is open only on Sundays, Aribam Nimai, Chairperson of IMC has clarified.
Addressing media persons at its office here today, Aribam Nimai said that the report published in some newspapers today that the tax levied from Sunday Market, which is open only on Sunday in an around BT Road in the heart of Imphal, has not reached IMC for quite some time, is misleading and baseless.
In fact, there is no rule which allows IMC to collect taxes from Sunday Market.

But since he was appointed as the Chairman for last three months, no tax has been levied on the vendors of Sunday Market.
