Traders will call for another bandh, if sealing starts

New Delhi, Nov 5: BJP Leader and former Union Minister Vijay Goel today said the Congress-led Governments at the Centre and state were delaying the implementation of 'Master Plan 2021' as it knew that the plan would not provide any relief to the traders in the Capital.

Mr Goel, also the Convener of Delhi Vyapari Andolan, said on the one hand, the government was assuring to give relief to the traders in the Master plan, on the other hand, it proposed to impose fines for wrong use and parking taxes.

He said if the sealing process started, the traders would call for another 'bandh' to oppose the move.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) would be collecting thousands of crores of rupees every year by introducing mixed land use, but the shop owners would be forced to close their shops as they would fail to pay lakhs of rupees as fine for mixed land use, he said in a statement here.

''Before the sealing process starts again, the government should tell the traders how it will fulfill the assurance of establishing one lakh shops and generate employmnent,'' he said.

He urged the state government to improve the drainage system in the capital so as to keep the city clean.
