Merchants across the State, under the aegis of the Vyapari Vyavasayi Samithi, will stage protests at their doorsteps, along with their families from 11 a.m. on Thursday, seeking a solution to the issues they face during the pandemic.
A major demand of the merchants is to cancel the permission given to online shopping companies without any lockdown restrictions. They have also demanded relaxation in building rent and a special package for the commercial sector. Besides, they have sought lockdown relaxations so that all shops could start functioning by following the COVID protocol.
