Puri: The trading establishments in Puri town are strongly opposing the collection of user fees by the Municipal authorities.
Briefing the media, the traders said that the Municipal authorities, who are unable to dispose of the garbage in the town, have now decided to collect user fees from them on the pretext of a cleanliness drive.
Asked about the matter, Puri MLA Jayant Sarangi said that the decision of the Municipal authorities warrants a thorough deliberation.
