Imphal, November 13 2010:
Women vendors, IMC licence holders, will be shifted to the newly constructed multi-storey women's market-sheds inaugurated yesterday by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi starting from November 18, an official source said.
Around 4000 women vendors holding licence issued by Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) are on the queue there.
They are currently occupying temporary market-sheds the erstwhile district hospital complex.
As per agreement signed between government and women vendors at the time of dismantling the former three markets, government made arrangements for shifting them to the new sheds, the source said.
Government has considered the demand of the Kabui Mothers' Association for allocation of 200 seats for Kabui women as untimely.
Their demand will be considered after the proposed fourth women's market-sheds come up, the source maintained.
