Traders protest against raids by the GST Department in Jalandhar.

A huge drama was witnessed today at Basti Nau when traders along with BJP workers protested against inspections being carried out by the GST Department.

Ravinder Dhir, an industrialists, said raids were being conducted to ruin business of traders in the festive season. Earlier too, some traders, under the banner of the Khel Udyog Sangh, had protested to reiterate their demand for ending GST raids.

“We are being harassed. AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal had promised to end ‘inspector-raj’ if his party was voted to power in the state. AAP is now ruling the state. Instead of ending the ‘inspector raj’, the government has worsened the condition of traders and industrialists,” rued Dhir.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
