Imphal, February 11 2016:
Rainfall in
the last few days have forced the
displaced Ima Market vendors to
shift back to the ruins of
Khwairamband market com-
plexes.
Speaking to TSE, a silk
Phanek
vendor at New Market
said most cloth vendors who
have been selling their materials
on the streets of Khwairamband
market post the predawn tremor
of January 4 have started shift-
ing to their former places inside
the damaged market sheds.
La-
menting that no measure have
been taken to relocate the af-
fected vendors of New Market
and Lakshmi Market shed till
date, the vendor said it is need
that have forced them to shift to
the damaged building fighting
the fear of sudden collapse of the
structure anytime.
