Chandigarh, June 25
The Chandigarh Furniture Association has decided to hold a complete bandh on June 26 and a three-day dharna to show solidarity with the All-India Furniture Association, which has given a call for a nationwide strike for three days from June 26 in protest against the exorbitant GST (28 per cent) on furniture items. Sunil Bansal, general secretary of the association, said the rate was unjustified as these items fell in the category of necessity, not luxury.
This would hit the trade adversely, he said. He said a memorandum seeking a reduction in the rate from the present 28 per cent to 12 per cent would be given to the Administration.
