Further stating that the three Khwairamband Keithel will likely be opened by February 15, she urged the Government to repair the market sheds within the stipulated deadline for all vendors to resume their business simultaneously.

She also appealed to Chief Minister N Biren to inspect the temporary market too when visiting the Khwairamband Keithel.

Agitation will be launched if the demand is not entertained, she added.
