Imphal, December 16 2022:
Working Committee, Khwairamband Keithel has asserted that it will do the needful to uphold interest of the street vendors of Khwairamband Keithel.
Taking serious note of the statement made through media by Khwairamband Keithel Street Vendors' Union general secretary on December 13, Working Committee advisor H Binodini Devi said that collective strength of women vendors of Khwairamband Keithel will always stand for street vendors of the market and rights of women vendors should not be denied.
Women vendors of all the three Khwairamband Keithel should not remain silent when some of their colleagues suffer and they should rather fight collectively against any challenge on their rights, she said.
Deeply concerned over construction of shops on the first floor of Khwairamband Keithel, H Binodini Devi demanded a white paper on the idea behind construction of shops on the unused floor of the historic Khwairamband Keithel.
She said that uniqueness of Khwairamband Keithel as well as tradition of the women-only market would be distorted if men are allowed to open shops on the first floor of any of the three Khwairamband Keithel.
