Ranchi, May 12
Petty traders and vegetable vendors today attacked three of the five Reliance Fresh food outlets here in the first such assault on a modern retail chain by those feeling threatened by it.

About 200 persons barged into the stores, which sell grocery, fruits and vegetables, smashed glass panes and pulled down shelves as Reliance Fresh staff ran for cover.

A retail outlet at Lalupur Chowk became the first target, followed by one near Tagore hill and another near Plaza cinema here.

City superintendent of police Richard Lakra said the protesters pelted stones, injuring a constable as the police tried to stop them near the Tagore hill shop. They also attacked and damaged passing vehicles.

Reliance Retail officials, however, declined to comment.

The police had to use ‘mild force’ to quell the mob, which was joined by people from the weekly haat at Tagore hill, as it began looting the shops, Lakra said.

According to unofficial reports, about six persons were injured. All five Reliance Fresh stores downed shutters with the police standing guard.

Recently, vegetable vendors and small retail shop owners had demonstrated against the opening of Reliance Fresh outlets in Jharkhand, accusing the private sector of directly hitting their business. — PTI
