Traders to observe Bharat Bandh in protest of GST rollout
The Bhartiya Udyog Vyapar Mandal (BUVM) which represents some 17,000 big and medium traders' associations has called for a day-long Bharat Bandh, a countrywide suspension of operations, to protest the GST implementation. "We have several issues with the GST system and rates. The tax on some of the items will be fatal for small and medium-sized enterprises," the BUVM said.
