Dhanbad traders to protest civic body taxes Corporation backtracking on promise of trade license for three months during lockdown
Coal town traders are planning a phase wise protest against the multitude of taxes levied by Dhanbad Municipal Corporation at a time of economic distress due to lack of any business activities during the state-wide partial lockdown.
