Demanding setting up of an industrial estate for iron-smiths, Manipur Industries Union (MIU) organised a sit-in protest in front of the gate of Directorate of Trade, Commerce and Industry, Lamphelpat, here, on Thursday.
Interacting with the media at the protest site, MIU president Chingtam Luwang said that number of iron-smiths is increasing in the state and many localities are putting up restrictions on their works citing noise pollution and environmental issues.
Stating that they are facing hardships in continuing their services, Chingtam said that the protest was organised to mount pressure on the government for developing an industrial estate for iron-smiths.
