Jamshedpur Traders to Protest Bazaar Samiti Fee with Torch March

SCCI and Vyapar Mandal organize demonstration against proposed food grain tax

Jamshedpur’s business community unites to oppose the Jharkhand government’s plan to impose a Bazaar Samiti fee on food grains.

JAMSHEDPUR – The Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and Vyapar Mandal will lead a torch procession on September 1 to protest the proposed Bazaar Samiti fee on food grains.

The protest march is scheduled to begin at 6:00 pm from Chamber Bhawan and proceed to Bistupur Main Road.

SCCI President Vijay Anand Moonka and Honorary General Secretary Manav Kedia jointly announced the demonstration.

Moonka expressed concern over the government’s attempt to intimidate traders with this bill.

He warned that the business community is prepared to launch a significant movement against the proposed fee.

"This black law will not only harm business interests but also adversely affect the general public, which we will not tolerate," Moonka stated.

The Chamber vowed to continue protesting until the bill is withdrawn.

Vice President Anil Modi and Secretary Bharat Makani invited all wholesale and retail food grain traders, as well as business organizations in Jamshedpur, to join the torch procession.

They emphasized the importance of a strong show of unity to send a clear message to the government.

The decision to hold the procession was made during a meeting organized by the Chamber to oppose the proposed fee.
