RAJEEV RAVIDASPawan Kumar ChamlingGangtok: The Gangtok Municipal Corporation (GMC) will start issuing new trade licences and renew old ones online from next month. "There could be some hiccups and teething problems initially (when shifting from off online to the online system) and we request the traders to bear with us. There could be a delay of about 15 days in issuing licences because of the shift this year," Gangtok mayor Shakti Singh said. In the past, the corporation used to issue and renew trade licenses between April 1 and May 31. However, because of the shift, the corporation authorities hope to start issuing licences from the middle of April onwards.
