The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) will convene a national meeting on November 13 to address disruptions caused by protests in commercial areas. The meeting, led by CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal, will discuss designating protest sites on city outskirts to protect businesses. The proposal follows weeks of disruption in Delhi, where protests have led to significant business losses. The meeting will also cover GST reforms, cyber fraud protection, and regulatory simplification. Khandelwal argues that protests in commercial hubs disrupt trade, supply chains, and the livelihoods of employees and small traders, especially during festive seasons.
The meeting will involve representatives from major trade organizations across the country. They will assess the impact of recent protests in Delhi and formulate a strategy to prevent similar disruptions in other cities. The traders' body plans to approach the government and may seek legal action to enforce designated protest sites. The proposal aims to balance the right to protest with the need to protect commercial activities and livelihoods.
