Urging the contractor at the Nethaji Daily Vegetable and Fruit Market at V.O.C. Park to collect charges that were fixed by the corporation, over 800 shops at the market were closed for the day on Thursday. On July 5, when the market was re-opened after the total lockdown, traders claimed that the contractor was collecting excess charges and staged a road blockade at Swastik Corner for one hour. They said that instead of ₹1.50 a gunny bag, the contractor is collecting ₹10, ₹10 to ₹30 for a vegetable bag, instead of ₹7 and ₹10 for a pushcart, instead of ₹3. They listed out various charges and the corporation installed five boards at the entrances with charges. But traders’ claim that the contractor continues to collect excess charges and announced closure of shops on Thursday.
