HYDERABAD, July 30, 2024 – The Grain Seeds & Oil Merchants’ Association of Hyderabad has announced a one-day strike on July 31, 2024, to protest recent increases in taxes and electricity bills.
The decision came after a meeting at Anaj Mandi Hyderabad, where President Haji Haroon Memon and association members unanimously agreed to the action.
“We’re taking this step in response to what we consider unjust financial burdens,” Memon stated. “All businesses and shops in our sector will remain closed on July 31.”
