Jewellers Back On Strike

Jewellers and bullion traders in several parts of the country, including Delhi, today resumed their strike, demanding rollback of the one per cent excise duty on non-silver jewellery.

After keeping shutters down for almost six weeks against the proposed 1 per cent excise duty on non-silver jewellery, a large section of jewellers and bullion traders across the country opened their shops on Tuesday.

Jewellers, bullion traders and artisans are showing no signs of backing down in their protest against imposition of one per cent excise duty on non-silver jewellery as their strike entered the 39th day, with many keeping their shops closed on Saturday.
