Traders Hit The Streets In Gujarat In Protest Against Goods And Services Tax

Braving heavy rains, textile traders from Gujrat and several other states came out on the streets of Ahmedabad and Surat today to protest against the Goods and Services Tax or GST on textile products. The traders, who have been on the strike for a fortnight now, claim their strike against the tax, implemented across the country on July 1, has already caused a loss of Rs. 6,000 crore to the government.
