Today’s vendors meet was successful as the role of local traders was positive. Vendors from many places have shown interest. It may be known that under the policy of the government, vendors from across the country will be able to supply their goods to the Railways through the GeM portal. This will increase transparency on the one hand, while the Railways will also be able to get goods at a better price.
