Imphal, Aug 17:
Prices of all the coloured newspapers including The Sangai Express, Poknapham, Matamgee Yakairol, Huiyen Lanpao and Naharolgee Thoudang would be increased to Rs 3 with effect from September 1, this year, informed a joint statement of the newspapers' publishers.
Moreover, a meeting of the publishers also endorsed hiking price of the Imphal Free Press (English version) to Rs 2.65 from the said date.
The statement cited periodical increase in price of print materials including paper and inks, expenditures incurred in quality control and hike in transportation charges as some compelling factors causing the newspapers' price revision.
Regretting that the price hike had to be effected, the statement also appealed to the subscribers to bear inconveniences caused.
