New Delhi: All commercial markets across the country remained closed across the country today (26 February) in view of the Bharat Bandh called by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) in protest against rising fuel prices, the new e-way bill and the goods and services tax (GST).
In response to the CAIT’s call for Bharat bandh, around 40,000 trade associations have decided to extend their support.
While The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) called for a Bharat Bandh, several other organisations like the All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA), one of the foremost apex bodies of India’s Road Transport Sector, and The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), spearheading antifarm laws protests at Delhi borders, have extended support to the call for strike.
The All India Transport Welfare Association (AITWA) – the apex body of the organised road transportation companies – will also support today’s bandh and hold a chakka jam. All state level-transport associations including Bombay Goods Transport Association, SIMTA, KGTA, Baroda Goods Transport Association, Vapi Transport Association, HGTA, CGTA, Car Carrier Association, Association of Transporters Poona, and many others have confirmed their support to AITWA in this one-day non-operation of transport.
