JAMMU, Sept 6: Reacting sharply over the heavy fee imposed on traders for licenses of various trades and annual renewal charges, the Chamber of Traders Federation (CTF) has urged upon the Government to keep this order of the JMC Commissioner in abeyance.
In an urgent meeting called to discuss the order issued by Jammu Municipal Corporation u/s 324&328 demanding compulsory payment of fees for obtaining NOC to be allowed to work within Municipal Limits, Chamber of Traders Federation stressed the need for evolving consensus on the issue by taking all stakeholders into confidence before going for any such big move.

Neeraj Anand, president, CTF also had a telephonic discussion with Mayor, Chander Mohan Gupta , Commissioner Municipal Corporation, Pankaj Magotra and other concerned authorities over the issue.
The CTF impressed upon the authorities to keep this order in abeyance since the State is passing through a crucial phase and would soon have UT laws to deal with. It would be prudent to wait rather than create unnecessary unrest in the city especially when post abrogation of Article 370, forces inimical to the peace of the region are highly active.
The traders present in the meeting were of the view that instead of having multiple licenses to govern the trade, Govt should contemplate issuing one license for one Trade on lines of “One Nation One Tax” so as to increase ease of doing business.
Prominent among those present were Parveen Gupta, Raman Gupta, Shiv Kumar Gupta, Dinesh Gupta, Tushar Gupta, Ajay Gupta and Parag Abrol.
