Reliance opens retail stores in Jamshedpur

JAMSHEDPUR: Reliance Retail Ltd (RRL), a subsidiary of the country's biggest firm by market value Reliance Industries, on Friday opened four outlets in the city.

The outlets received a huge public response as all the four did good business with nearly 3,000 customers visiting each outlet, a company spokesman claimed.

The day did not witness any protest, police said, adding the 'Khudra Vyapar Sahrojgar Bachao Morcha', a front of retailers and vendors here, staged a demonstration in front of the district administration demanding a ban on the Reliance Fresh outlets in Jamshedpur yesterday.

Reliance sources said the stores sold food and grocery items. Three more stores would be opened in Jamshedpur in a month's time.

Reliance has eight outlets in the state capital Ranchi and three in Dhanbad.
