Imphal, February 28 2023:
Panthoibi Street Vendors' Union has withdrawn its proposed shut down of Imphal-Ukhrul road in demand of a market shed for street vendors.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here on Tuesday, union president Y Indrani said that the street vendors have been demanding the government to construct a market shed at the government plot situated opposite to ISBT Khuman Lampak.
The indefinite bandh along Imphal-Ukhrul road was proposed as a way of protest for mounting pressure on the government in this regard.
However, the union has decided to withdraw the bandh following the assurance given by MAHUD minister Y Khemchand in response to a motion moved by MLA Th Arunkumar during the ongoing state assembly session, she said.
