Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association (FRTWA) has expressed serious displeasure over the Maharashtra Governmentâs decision to extend the lockdown up to 7 am on June 1. The Federation has estimated that total business loss incurred by retail business by small and medium-size retail traders at Rs 69,500 crore for the period April 4 till May 31.
The Association President Viren Shah said there is no relief to shopkeepers terming the government decision on lockdown extension ââunfortunate.ââ ââ The state government has not even mentioned cities like Mumbai where cases are dropping and manageable and unlocking the city in a gradual manner. Itâs high time that Maharashtra Government will have to seriously think of tradersâ issues and concerns.ââ
