All operations at Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market located in Vashi, Navi Mumbai including supplies of perishables will remain closed on December 8 in support of Bharat bandh, said Navi Mumbai APMC President Rajendra Shelke.
The Vashi APMC is the apex body of about 300 APMCs in the state. The five wholesale markets have a daily footfall of around 50,000.
