Bikaner : Bikaner Khajuwala A memorandum in the name of the Chief Minister was submitted to the Sub-Divisional Officer on behalf of the Food Trade Union Khajuwala, demanding removal of Mandi tax imposed by the State Government on pulses. Union President Mohanlal Sihag said that about 466 pulses units are operating in the state. . In this, till the end of the year, due to non-availability of goods for pulses for about two to three months, it has to be made available from other states. The processing units here have to be run continuously throughout the year, which provides employment to the accountants, laborers and other people here. In order for these units to run smoothly, traders complete the supply by purchasing goods from outside Rajasthan. The Rajasthan government imposes 16 percent mandi tax on pulses and 0.50 paise on bringing pulses from outside the state. Farmer welfare fees will have to be paid. Such notification has been issued.
It is noteworthy that there was opposition in the previous Gehlot government to remove this tax, due to which the Gehlot government could not impose this tax. Now this tax has been imposed on 19th July. Traders demand that pulses should be declared tax free on goods imported from outside. We are forced to go on a symbolic strike to protest against this. If the demand is not met, a meeting will be held and a tough decision will be taken. During this, businessmen Narendra Godara, Raghuveer Khagi, Lalit Kumar, Navratna Garg, Radheshyam Pareek, Shiv Maru, Shivnarayan Lega, Bajrang Lal Karwa, Ashok Lakhotia etc. submitted memorandum.Sridungargarh The strike of the Trauma Center Construction Sangharsh Committee continued for the 51st day on Wednesday in front of the subdivision office demanding the construction of an approved Trauma Center and Upazila in the town and the protestors started a gradual fast from Wednesday.
