Reliance Stores In Punjab Seek Chief Minister's Help Amid Farmers Protest

Farmers protesting against the Centre's three farm laws are not allowing Reliance stores to operate in Punjab.

A group of building owners who have rented their premises to Reliance Industries for operating its various businesses across Punjab on Tuesday sought the intervention of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh for reopening of their stores which were laid siege by protesting farmers for the past several months. Farmers protesting against the Centre's three farm laws are not allowing Reliance stores to operate in Punjab. The owners said they are in a deep financial crisis and moving towards bankruptcy as they have not been getting any rental incomes for the past 7-8 months because all Reliance retail outlets are closed due to farmer protests. They said the agitating farmers have put their tents outside various stores.
