Imphal, July 21 2013:
Demanding to allocate a separate place for selling fox-nuts at Khwairamband market, women vendors selling thangjing (fox nut) at Ema Keithel have served an ultimatum of 5 days' to the State Government to materialise their demands.
Speaking to media persons in this connection at Manipur Press Club here today, Waikhom (O) Bimota Devi, Secretary of Ema Keithel Thangjing Yonbi Lup informed that woman vendors selling Thangjing from the temporary market shed have been drive out by some women vendors in an
unfair way.
The troublemaker women deliberately ransack fox nuts and pour water on the poor woman vendors.
Pressing their demand to construct/provide a separate market shed, Ema Keithel Thangjing Yonbi Lup has drawn the attention of concerned authority to immediately look into the matter and redress the hardship being faced by women vendors selling Thanjing.
