Imphal, August 05 2014:
Even as Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) started construction of Creche Centre (Kid Care Centre) on the top floor of Ima Keithel from today, a large number of women vendors protested the IMC move and vandalised the construction works.
According to an order issued by IMC Executive Officer Ng Uttamchand on July 30, 2014, erection of wooden walls of the Centre on the top floor of Purana Bazar (Leimarel Sidabi Keithel) started from today.
However, a large number of women vendors of three Ima Keithels broke the wall and piled up the wood on the road.

Later, the irate womenfolk marched towards IMC office to register protest.
However, as they were blockaded by police, 10 women representatives met IMC officials and expressed their concern.
Speaking to reporters, Khwairamband Nupi Keithel Sinpham Amadi Saktam Kanba Lup secretary Kh Rani said that at the time of construction of these three Ima Keithels, Chief Minister Okram Ibobi had promised in the State Assembly not to do anything which would be against the wish of Imas.
However, the Government is trying to put into effect the recent move without informing anything about the matter to women vendors, she added.
She cautioned that they would initiate intense forms of agitation if the Govt does not revoke the decision of opening Kids Care Centre on the top of three Ima Keithels.
