Cooch Behar Wholesale Traders Begin Indefinite Strike Over Police Action

Wholesale grocery sellers in Cooch Behar have closed their shops indefinitely.

They are protesting fines issued to vehicles loading and unloading goods.

Traders say police action has made it difficult to do business.

They also say some parked two-wheelers have been fined.

Police say they are only enforcing traffic rules.

Officers say badly parked vehicles block cars and pedestrians.

The disagreement became heated near the market on Thursday.

The market is important for supplying groceries, especially before Durga Puja.

Officials may hold a meeting to try to solve the problem.
