Retail - Conflict

Recently there were lot of protests for the retailers like Reliance Fresh and Subhiksha from the so called traders who enjoyed the unawareness of the people. I have never seen any trader or vegetable vendor providing bill for any sale they do. Only people who forces them to issue the bill will get it. These people now being threatened by the new retailers of their business, staging a protest. A sick behaviour happen only in India. Whether the endpoint sales is by small traders or retailers, the farmers will get the same share.

Only the small traders and middle men who enjoyed the luxury of non-questioning will be suffering. Hence the protest.

The government should form a governing body in crafting the guidelines, monitoring the retailers which would help the farmers.

The hidden burden with the small traders and middle man as they don't pay much of sales tax, the salaried individual was burdened.

The protest which I would call strongly as idiotic should be stopped.
