| Sealing issue: Traders call for 72-hour bandh from Oct 30 | | | New Delhi, Oct 25 Commercial activities in Delhi will
come to a virtual halt by this month end with the traders
today giving a call for a 72-hour trade bandh in the national
capital from October 30 to protest the MCD's decision to begin
sealing of commercial establishments operating from residential
areas of the city.
Traders in all the major markets in Delhi will down their
shutters for three days from October 30 in response to the Delhi
Bandh, called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT).
''All the markets will remain closed from October 30 till
November 1 during the 72-hour Delhi Bandh,'' CAIT secretary
general Praveen Khandelwal said.
This is the second trade a bandh has been called by the traders
in the last two months on the issue of sealing of commercial units
in residential areas, which the traders feel will divest lakhs of
shopkeepers of their source of livelihood besides rendering
unemployed lakhs of those employed in these shops.
Earlier, the traders had observed a Delhi Bandh on September 20
on the issue of sealing of shops in residential areas. The bandh had
evoked a massive response in Delhi with a virtual shutdown in all
the markets. The bandh also witnessed violent clashes between police
personnel and the protesting traders.
Mr Khandelwal said the traders would organise a 'gherao'
of the Delhi Assembly on october 30 to protest against the sealing of
their units. |
