Officials are hell bent to damage their business interests by putting Nakas at Various places enroute from Lakhanpur to Banihal and harassing the members of trading community by resorting to undue checking of their vehicles carring goods from Lakhanpur to Banihal. He termed this whole process as useless because whatsoever material they are bringing from outside, has already been checked by the GST department at Lakhanpur and they fulfilled all the formalities by submitting GST through e-way bill. Hence there is no need to further check their vehicles by the authorities. By doing so they are just resorting to harassment of the traders. Yashpal Gupta, President Retailers Federation expressed concern over the behavior of GST deptt. officials who instead of providing a feasible atmosphere for business, have resorted to undue interference in their working, posing serious blow to their business which is already in doledrums due to instability in the market.
