On Monday a delegation of members from Mahanagar Chamber, an umbrella organisation of 50 commercial associations, had a meeting with Amravati city’s municipal commissioner, collector and police commissioner.
Suresh Jain, president of Mahanagar Chambers, said, “We are facing losses but we agree with the curfew as any further escalation would mean a longer curfew and bigger loses. We are happy with the two-hour relaxation. We have been told it may be extended.”
The local police thanked Nitin Kadam, a local hotelier, for providing them food and water supply during the curfew.
