Mysore/Mysuru: Strongly opposing the Centre’s decision to impose 5 percent GST (Goods and Services Tax) on branded and packaged food grains and products, the traders of APMC Yard at Bandipalya on Nanjangud Road observed a bandh today.
Following a Statewide bandh call by APMC Merchants Association and Rice Mill Owners Association, about 800 foodgrain shops in APMC Market and about 80 in Old Santhepet area in the heart of the city remained shut today, which severely affected wholesale trading across the city. However, the vegetable market and shops selling other articles in APMC were open.
