Imphal, September 16 2015:
Road Side Vendors' Welfare Association, Khwairamband Bazaar staged a sit-in protest on Wednesday against alleged mistreatment meted out to street vendors by women vendors of Khwairamband Keithel.
A member of the association said that street vendors in the vicinity of Khwairamaband Keithel have been facing difficulties since the authorities have failed to allot a better market site to them to sell their items.
She said a group of women vendors of Khwairamband on Tuesday evicted street vendors and threw out their vegetable items and destroyed.

Street vending near the Khwairamband has been continuing for a long time, said another street vendor.
She alleged that women vendors of Khwairamband have ignored their plight.
The State Government has been urged many times to arrange a separate market shed for the street vendors, but it has remained silent on the demand, the street vendors said.
They said that the Lamphel Sana Keithel is not a right place for their business activities because the number of daily customers is not satisfactory.
The Government should allot a place for setting up of a proper market for the street vendors at the earliest, they demanded.
They also appealed to the Khwairamband women vendors to stop giving harassment to the street vendors to victimize them.
