Imphal, June 17 2013:
Consent of the House of Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) on giving permission to the vendors of Sunday market is being awaited, said IMC Chairperson Aribam Nimai Sharma.
There is nothing harm in having Sunday market at Imphal as most of the shops are remaining closed on Sundays.
However, IMC is yet to decide on how much tax be collected from the vendors and where to give an exclusive place for them.
IMC has not given permission to Sunday market vendors to do business on Sundays so far.
He added that neither IMC has framed rule for Sunday market vendors nor collects tax from the vendors of Sunday market so far.
Nimai Sharma further said that Sunday Market Street Vendors Welfare Association has requested the IMC in written in this regard.
He added that although the matter has already been discussed at Chairperson's level, consent of the House of IMC is still being awaited.
