The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has called for a Bharat Bandh on Friday (February 26). Traders across the country are demanding a review of the provisions of the goods and services tax (GST) regime. Because of this, all commercial markets in the country will be shut on February 26. Over 8 crore traders from across the country will join the Bharat Bandh on February 26 while around 40,000 traders will also observe a strike to protest against the amendments of GST rules. 'Dharna' will be held in more than 1,500 towns and cities across states and no traders will login to the GST portal to register their protest.
