The six-day bandh, which had been called by traders at the Agricultural Produce and Marketing Committee (APMC) against the levying of the Local Body Tax (LBT), has turned out to be an expensive affair for traders. According to sources from the market, the grain market alone suffered a loss of approximately Rs 10.5 crore.
