Cuttack, Oct 18: BJP activists staged a protest on Tuesday over the hike of stall rent in Cuttack Bali Yatra. Opposing the hike, the BJP Cuttack wing staged a dharna in front of the Cuttack district Collector’s office today. Sources said that the Cuttack district administration has decided to collect stall charges at the rate of Rs 40 per square feet instead of Rs 27 which was the price last year. According to the BJP leaders, the cost is beyond the reach of the petty vendors. The cost reaches around Rs 50 per square foot after the GST, which a small businessman can’t afford. The cost is favourable to the potential dealers and vendors, they alleged. On the other hand, the district administration said that an effort has been made to protect the interest of the vendors. It will save them from the exploitation of outside bidders. A special enclosure will be dedicated for the local traders, said the Collector.
