Bharat Bandh on Friday; trade organizations in Kerala not to participate in bandh

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has called for a Bharat Bandh on Friday in protest against the rising fuel prices, E-way bill, and Goods and Services Tax. However, Kerala is unlikely to get affected by the Bharat Bandh as the Vyapara Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi has decided to stay away from it.

Vyapara Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi state secretary K Sethumadhavan informed that all the shops in the state will operate on Friday. Other organizations have not commented. It is learned that they too will not take part in the strike.
