Rudrapur: Mayor brings traders upset over GST survey and officials together, says harassment of any trader will not be tolerated

In Rudrapur, Mayor Vikas Sharma brought traders angry over the GST department's survey and action together with the department's officials at the Municipal Corporation hall on Thursday, 24 September. The traders objected to the officials' behaviour during the survey, the checking of documents and the way action was taken; a day earlier, on Wednesday, a large number of traders had also staged a sit-in at the GST office. The mayor said following the rules is necessary, but harassment of any trader will not be tolerated. The meeting decided that where documents are missing, guidance will be given first instead of direct penal action; seminars and workshops will be held from time to time for coordination between the department and traders; the survey work has been stopped for now, and there will be no unnecessary action during the festive season. The mayor assured the traders that he would take their concerns to the Chief Minister. Joint Commissioner Smita, Municipal Commissioner Shipra Joshi and about 40 traders, including Sunil Thukral, Narendra Arora, Gurmel Singh and Pawan Gaba, attended the meeting.
