Imphal, July 19 2020:
Khwairamband Nupi Keithel Sinpham Amadi Saktam Kanba Lup and Khwairamband Nupi Keithel Semgat Sagatpa Lup have asked the State Government to provide all possible helps to vendors of Khwairamband Keithel who are badly affected by the coronavirus induced lockdown.
Speaking to media persons during a press meet held at Khwairamband Keithel no 1, one vendor Thoudam (o) Shanti said that as the Keithel is being closed since March 21, thousands of vendors are finding it hard to cover their expenses.
She also expressed disappointment to all the 60 MLAs of the State for not listening to their plight.
Tussling for power at this point of time is very unfortunate, Shanti said.
Saying that distributing just 5 kg of rice alone cannot solve all the problems as certain big families cook that much quantity of rice in a day, she said that the insensitiveness of the State Government at this difficult time has irritated many.
"Though we are fully aware that the State Government took the extreme decision of closing Khwairamband Keithel for the welfare of the masses, we might resume our business if the Government continues to ignore us," she added.
