Imphal, February 11 2023:
Ima Panthoibi Street Vendors Union, Khuman Lampak urged the State Government to construct a marketplace for the road side vegetable vendors along the roads of Khuman Lampak to alleviate the plights of these vendors.
Addressing media persons during a press meet held at Manipur Press Club today, president of the union Yumnam Indrani said that road side vegetable vendors belonging to different communities are selling vegetables and fruits since many years in this place for their livelihood.
She highlighted that these vendors face numerous inconveniences owing to the absence of a proper market place.
In view of such inconveniences, they have been urging the Government to construct a proper market place since 2011 however no positive measures have been taken up till date which is really unfortunate, she lamented.
Expressing discontentment that the incumbent Government has also failed to address the problems of these vendors though many market places are being built at many places across the State, she appealed to the Government to construct a market place for the vendors along the road of Khuman Lampak at the earliest.
