Trade body stages dharna against price hike

The Assam Chamber of Commerce (ACC) has asked the government not to hold the traders responsible for the price rise to save their own skin. The trade body observed a dharna at Jail Road in Fancy Bazar to protest against price rise and to oppose the entry of big corporate houses in the retail trade. The traders are going to submit a memorandum to the Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi regarding their demands. A memorandum has already been submitted to the State Commerce Minister a few weeks back.
