AGARTALA, Nov 13 (TIWN): After cabinet had decided to abolish the system 'shutdown' of markets per week, public are giving mixed responses.

 Even though cabinet had decided on Friday that from now for 7 days markets should remain open (No weekly holiday) but there was no interest, excitement among the businessmen and Agartala City was totally shutdown On November 9, on the ground of increasing public and businessmen's demands, cabinet had approved to remove one and half days market shutdown law.

While announcing the abolishment of weekly holidays, Law Minister Ratan lal Nath said, "Even though markets will be opened 7 days but the workers should be given one and half day of leave.
