The three-day textile bandh protesting against the imposition of Goods and Services Tax on the cloth and unfinished garment sales came to an end on Thursday.
Sales and purchases of cloth came to a grinding halt following the closure of shops for three days. Poosalabasti where the textile shops are located wore a deserted look.
The town cloth merchants’ association president and general secretary A. Dasharath and E. Venkatesh strongly condemned the slamming of the GST on cloth business terming it as detrimental to the textile industry and business.
They also said that they would continue the protest till the Centre withdraws its decision.
