Newspaper agents care two hoots for Janata Curfew; dump papers on retail vendors
MUMBAI, March 22: Ignoring the Janata Curfew call by the PM, certain newspaper agents have dumped today's papers on retail vendors.
"We decided to give off to our delivery boys as most parents would not allow their children to go out today,' said a retail vendor who suppliers papers to a large number of homes at Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai.
He said the vendors informed the distributors not to send papers today, yet the bundles were dumped on the retailers.
"We brought these bundles home as the agents refused to take them back. 'Now we have to sell them in raddi as they are of no value tomorrow," he said.
This retailer alone is forced to suffer a loss of Rs 2,000 for the day.
Hope the newspaper managements will take a pragmatic view and not charge the vendors for the papers distributed on Janata Curfew Day.
