Imphal, June 22 2012:
Foundation for construction of Khamnu Keithel at Moirang Bazar was laid today during a ceremony which was attended by Moirang AC MLA M Prithiviraj and former Chairman of PDA, Dr Kh Loken.
Khamnu Keithel is projected at the cost of Rs 9.5 crore under Planning and Development Authority (PDA) which would be implemented by Moirang Municipal Council.
Speaking at the occasion, M Prithiviraj said the market shed would have two floors adding that Rs 50 lakh has already been sanctioned for the first phase.
Stating that the construction of the market shed would be completed within two years, the MLA said that an efficient contractor would be entrusted so that the completion of the market shed is ensured on time.
Since Moirang Keithel is a trading centre for people in the adjoining areas like Henglep AC and various subdivisions, Prithiviraj said that quality maintenance would not be compromised in this regard.
He appealed the public to extend cooperation towards the timely completion of the market.
The foundation laying ceremony was also attended by Chairperson of MMC, Ph Rajen and former MLA of Moirang Kendra, S Gopal.
Dr Kh Loken said the construction of the market shed was scheduled to commence few months back, but due to enforcement of Election Code of Conduct, the same could not be done as scheduled.
However, with the instruction of the Chief Minister, the foundation of the market shed can be laid now, he said.
