Over 8 crore traders across the country have called for Bharat Bandh on Friday demanding a review of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). In support of this decision, the All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA) has announced a strike from 6 am to 8 pm. Before the announcement of Bharat Bandh, CAIT had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which listed issues related to GST as well as matters related to e-commerce companies. Pradeep Singhal, president of All India Transporters Welfare Association (AITWA), said that earlier, there was a condition of running 100 km in one day, which has now been increased to 200 km. Either the e-way bill has to be done away with or be simplified.
