Jammu,
Nov 2: To protest against the continuation of Toll Tax on Goods, imported
from outside the State, Chamber of Traders Federation on Thursday called for
Jammu band on November 6.
‘’Traders of Jammu Region shall observe complete peaceful “Jammu Bandh” on November 6,’’ Neeraj Anand, President, Chamber of Traders Federation here told reporters.
Mr Anand called upon all trade organisations to lend their full support in making the “Jammu Bandh” successful.
He said the trading community is utterly dismayed by the adamant stand of the government and bureaucracy for the last four months, CTF was left with no alternative but to call for the extreme step of Jammu Bandh.
‘’This happened inspite of the fact that so many representations were made to the Chief Minister, Dy Chief Minister, Finance Minister, concerned officials and Presidents of Political Parties,’’ he added.
‘’Representation given to Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on his recent visit to Jammu and his personal displeasure expressed to BJP leaders has also made little impact on the state government,’’ lamented Mr Anand.
He said surmounting all odds created by some anti-national elements, it was only CTF that convinced the state government with falling in line with the GST Bill being introduced throughout the nation.
He added that implementation was done but call it the political expediency that the bill in present shape has once again brought about mismatch of rates on account of Toll tax as compared to the neighbouring states thus making goods costlier for the consumers of Jammu and Kashmir, something that was least expected in the uniform GST Law.
The Traders Head urged upon trade organisations, Civil Society of Jammu, Transporters, Team Jammu, Rajput Sabha, J&K High Court Bar Association, CCI , Industrial Federations and conscientious political leaders having stakes in Jammu region to support this initiative and force the Government to see the reasoning on abolition of Toll Tax and also declare much desired birthday of highly respected erstwhile Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir Hari Singh as a State Holiday.
