The memorandum would be handed over to the chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.The traders in the memorandum said government should give financial aid to the traders in the aftermath of the COVID-19 in the proportion to the returns filed last year.This aid should be transferred into the accounts of traders in PSBs and co-operative banks which would eventually help them to tide over the financial crisis
