Hence, we have launched the 'Aap Ke Dwar' drive," SCCI general secretary Vijay Anand Moonka The SCCI, which had carried out a similar initiative in the 2012 too, said the drive will continue all through the month of June."Beginning with Sakchi and Bistupur, we will reach out to Adityapur and Mango covering Sidhgora, Sonari and Kadma markets," an SCCI official said.Moonka claimed that the district administration's anti-encroachment drive lacks a clear roadmap and has upset the shopkeepers."Traders have complained that in the absence of clarity on part of the administration, the ongoing drive against encroachment in the markets is only compounding the woes of the shopkeepers and this has necessitated the representative body to reach out to affected shopkeepers and guide them on the spot," SCCI functionary Bharat Vasani said.Notably, the administration has carried out the drive to remove encroachments in Sakchi, Jugsalai, Golmuri and Mango markets in the recent days.
