CAIT observes nationwide market bandh for Pulwama martyrs
The Confederation of All India Traders had observed a nationwide trade bandh yesterday to express their sympathy with the families of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the Pulwama terrorist attack.
In response to the call, all the wholesale and retail markets remained closed on February 18 in Delhi.
CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal commented during the bandh that traders would observe a day-long fast and stage a tribute march in their respective states. He confirmed that the body is planning to mobilize substantial financial assistance which will be directly given by traders to the families of martyrs.
Traders in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Haryana, J&K and other states participated in the trade bandh.
The traders' body has also decided to launch a national campaign to boycott Chinese goods in the wake of China’s unreasonable stance supporting Pakistan. The Bharat Trade Bandh across the country was peaceful and only business establishments were closed. Essential items and public transport were kept out of the bandh.
In Delhi, prominent markets including Chandni Chowk, Khari Baoli, Kashmere Gate, Chawri Bazar, Sadar Bazar, Connaught Place, Karol Bagh, Rajouri Garden, Kamla Nagar, South Extension, Lajpat Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar, Shahdara, Gandhi Nagar, etc remained closed.
