Who'll bell The Metro? ........Chinatmaniacs?

Obama's "protectionist tone"  on outsourcing has created a flutter in the Indian IT industry. The BPO industry's survival depends (over 70% of revenues)totally on the American policies. The developed countries advocate free trade policies when everything seems hunky-dory. See now, when the unemployment problem cropped-up in their backyard they want to stop outsourcing. Japan had heavy import barriers until their automobile industry became big enough to dictate terms over other(read Detroit) countries.
Indian policies has stopped foreign direct investment in retailing. Metro Cash & Carry, a subsidiary of a German company of the same name, started its business as a whole-saler who is only permitted to sell to the re-sellers. From the day since it started it's business it always looked wary. The APMC traders had to protest hard to make them stop selling the APMC listed products. The open secret that any consumer can buy things from their outlets exposes their disrespect to the law of the land they trade in.
But now, Metro is trying to flex it's muscles in semi-urban India. It has appointed stockists at Kolara, Bangarapete and couple of other towns to market the products they deal( mutton to maida, Vaseline to vodka, sauce to switches) with. Knowing  its artful way of  doing business it'll certainly dislocate  the existing business system of  manufacturer-distributor-retailer-consumer. This system could be the second largest (next to agriculture) employer in India. The impact of Obama's policies can be measured through the dipping sensex, but the loss due to the Metro goes unnoticed. The Metro will sell all company products until they gain a foothold in the market and eventually promote their in-house brands killing other company brands.

 Chintamani Distributors Association & Chintamani Merchants Association will  organise a rally to protest against Metro cash & carry from appointing a stockist in Chintamani, to awaken the policy makers to take necessary action and to alert all the citizens from the trade invaders on 18th of August at 10 am from Azad Chowka.

Night Intruders Nabbed By Vigilant Police

Six thieves who used to brake the shutters of shops and steal cash and valuables were nabbed by the impelling Chintamani Police. Finally, for the people of Chintamani this news brings in  a sigh of relief. The thefts during the last couple of months had increased to extremity. The businessmen  had sleepless nights. Owners of the garment shops, coffee factory, grocery shops, bakeries and cellphone shops were the victims of their modus operandi. And the police had a challenge staring straight in their face. They had a pressure from all corners to solve this series of thefts. The Police became more vigilant and the trouble makers were trapped.
The six arrested are also involved in couple of robberies. They are aged between 18 & 22. Five of them belong to Chintamani and the other  guy(sitting,second from left), who is an expert in breaking the strongest of locks is from Chickaballapura.
Men in Khaki, keep up the good work.
