Imphal, July 03 2020:
Denouncing the initiative taken up to install seats on the footpath that stretches from the tip of Thangal Keithel up to Kasturi bridge, shopkeepers operating in the Bazar areas have demanded the State Government to cancel the project at the earliest.
Speaking to media persons during a press meet held at Majorkhul, one of the shopkeepers said that the initiative taken up by the Government as a part of a smart city project amid the lockdown is not encouraging.
Lamenting that the already busy road of Thangal Keithel will be narrowed further if the project is indeed implemented and create untold inconvenience at the time of emergency, she appealed to the State Government and authorities concerned to comprehend the plight of the public and withdraw the project at the earliest.
She also opined that implementing the project in areas further away from Khwairamband keithel would be better.
