The joint meeting, after in depth deliberation on the issues facing the Tribal Market Management Committee, passed the following resolutions in the interest of different communities in Manipur: Firstly, the members representing their respective organizations acknowledged that the Tribal Market Management Committee has been dysfunctional due to long absence of the Tribal Affairs and Hills Minister on account of the conflict in Manipur.
Therefore, they resolved that the TA & Hills Minister should be replaced for the welfare of the tribal people in Manipur.
Secondly, as per the rules and regulations of the Tribal Market, the tribal market should exclusively be for the tribal community.
Thirdly, it was unanimously resolved that in case of any threat against the Naga business owners, vendors and shopkeepers of Imphal and its surrounding areas by any armed groups on monetary demands, the organizations present at today's meeting will jointly put an effort to thwart such unwanted activities in the interest of all communities.
