Imphal, September 27 2021:
Vendors at the iconic women only Khwairamband Keithel which remained shut for months due to the COVID-19 resumed business from Monday, following the green signal given by the State Government to re-open.
Khwairamband Keithel was closed for the first time on March 20, 2020 before Manipur registered her first ever Covid case and before the first Nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 24, 2020 .
A simple function was also held to mark the re-opening of the keithel during which floral tributes were offered to the photos of 26 vendors of the three Ima Keithel who died amidst the COVID-19 second wave.

At the function, Imphal West SP Dr S Ibomcha appealed to the vendors to strictly conform to the safety guidelines of COVID-19 whilst in business to avoid infections.
The Khwairamband Keithel was closed on two occasions due to the COVID-19, he said and added that the Government has now lifted the restrictions as Covid cases have subsided in the past few weeks.
On the first day of reopening about 250 vendors operated at the three Khwairamband Keithel and the temporary market shed.
It may be mentioned that the State Government has ordered more relaxation in activities with night curfew to be strictly enforced from 8.30 pm to 4 am, while three Ima Keithel and Temporary Market have been allowed to reopen in its order dated September 22, 2021 .
