Imphal, November 03 2016:
The Imphal Municipal Corporation (IMC) today launched a drive along BT Road to check whether the shops have necessary licences.
The drive was carried out by a team of IMC officials led by the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor.
IMC Mayor Soram Sunil told The Sangai Express said that licence is mandatory if any one is running a shop within areas covered by municipalities.
However, majority of the shops located in and around Imphal city do not possess licences.
In accordance with a resolution adopted by IMC on October 25, all shopkeepers were asked to obtain licences.

After due notification was issued, IMC today launched a drive to check whether the shops have licences or not, Sunil said.
All shops located within the jurisdiction of IMC should be registered as per the relevant rules and regulations.
But most of the shops have been overlooking these rules and regulations, he said.
As per an Act of IMC, all shops which are not registered should pay Rs 200 each every day as fine, the Mayor said.
He then appealed to all shopkeepers/shop owners to register their shops and obtain licences which have one year's validity instead of paying Rs 200 everyday.
All gates and doors built across gallis within Imphal city by private residents should be removed at the earliest, he added.
IMC will carry out a publicity round in this regard if the gates and doors are not removed within seven days after the publicity round, the gates and the doors would be demolished, Sunil said.
Noting the inconveniences caused to pedestrians by merchandises piled up on footpaths by adjoining shops, the Mayor stated that shops should stop laying out their merchandises on footpaths.
Deputy Mayor Meibon Phaomei asked all shopkeepers to keep at least one fire extinguisher each at their shops.
They should also keep adequate quantity of small changes (money) in the interest of shoppers.
He said that necessary steps would be initiated to address the problem of manpower shortage in IMC.
