“Whenever any VIP visits Bandipora, the administration closes all the main as well as link roads. The same was repeated on Wednesday during the visit of Ram Vilas Paswan,” said Reyaz Ahmad, a trader.He added, “The traders in Bandipora market suffer great loss during the visit of VIPs. We lose business worth lakhs in a day whenever a VIP visits this township”.He alleged that the customers are being terrorized on the pretext of security measures and as such they cancel their visit to the market."We are being harassed to such an extent that we don’t open our shops whenever a VIP visits the township,” said Ghulam Muhammad Kuchay.Locals and traders in a one voice demanded that the wagons carrying people should be parked away from the market. "District administration has fixed sports stadium the spot for rallies and other gatherings. It is surrounded by educational institutes and residential houses and as such the security measures put in place badly affect our normal life,” said Mushtaq Ahmed.Talking to Rising Kashmir, Chairman Municipal committee Mushtaq Ahmed Sofi said "It is a genuine demand of the people. I will discuss it with the District Commissioner and other responsible officers. I hope the problems will be solved accordingly".
