Shopkeepers in Paona Keithel who have been protesting the Government 's order restricting parking of vehicles along the Keithel stretch without giving alternative space have resolved to open shops from Friday (April 8) .
Speaking to media persons at Paona Keithel today, one shopkeeper Soubam Shyam stated that the decision to lift its protest temporarily was taken after coming to terms on two points with the Transport Director and other Government officials.
The Government has agreed to allow parking of vehicles for five minutes only and to change the direction of one way traffic with Keishampat side to serve as an entry point and Samu Makhong side as an exit point, he said and added that the shopkeepers will resume their protest if the Government doesn't deliver its assurance within a week.
