The textile tempo transporters in Surat have decided not to enter textile markets located on Ring Road, and will dump and accept the delivery of grey fabric outside the market from April ten. The traders will then be responsible to take their goods to their respective shops.

The decision came out as a result of non-availability of parking place at the market areas. Furthermore, no reduction in hefty parking charges added to the woes. Sources said that the tempo transporters association have started scouting for an open land outside the textile market area where all the grey fabric goods will be dumped for loading and unloading.

Shravan Thakur, Leader, Textile Tempo Goods Association said, “After April 10, the traders will have to deliver the grey fabrics on their own at the location outside the textile market area. Same will be the rule for the dyeing and printing mills supplying finished goods in the market. The tempo drivers will load the textile goods from outside the market and delivery to the textile mills.”
