: A large number of gold traders and jewellers continued their strike for the 28th day on Tuesday in protest against the proposed one per cent excise duty on non-silver jewellery.
Most jewellery shops and establishments in the country are shut since March 2 after finance minister Arun Jaitley announced one per cent excise duty on non-silver jewellery.
However, most of the jewellery showrooms in Tamil Nadu were open for regular trading.
