Jamshedpur traders burn effigy of e-commerce companies at Sakchi

During Holika Dahan at Sakchi local traders vent their anger at Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal

Jamshedpur: In response to the alleged negative effects of e-commerce companies in India, the Association of All India Traders (CAIT) held a protest on Monday and burnt the effigy of e-commerce companies..

During the Holika Dahan programme at Sakchi Roundabout in Jamshedpur, effigies of e-commerce behemoths including Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal were burned as part of the protest.

The CAIT charged that these businesses were operating in violation of the law and that they were to blame for the poisonous atmosphere in the nation as far as trade and business are concerned..

The dealers urged that the government give them the same permissions and liberties that e-commerce corporations had to conduct business online.

The National Secretary of CAIT, Suresh Santhalia, said that the demonstration was organized in 300 townships and cities throughout the nation and that the burning of the effigy symbolized the purifying of business as Holika Dahan does.
