Talking to the mediapersons on Thursday, general secretary of the Mahasangh Sudhakar Panda said the bandh call has been given by the CAIT demanding simplification of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) norms, government control over the expansionist policy of the e-Commerce companies and repeal of the harsh provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

He said barring the trading establishments dealing with essential commodities, other trading and business establishments will remain closed during the bandh.

Stating that the bandh will be observed from 6 am to 8 pm, Panda said the members of the traders’ bodies will stage road blockade across the state during the period.
