Reliance Fresh Bhubaneswar outlet inaugurated, downs shutters over traders'' ire, reopens under police protection

Bhubaneswar: Despite opposition from local traders and vendors, Reliance has opened a Reliance Fresh outlet in Bhubaneswar, launching its retail operations in the state.

Though it has formally inaugurated this store, Reliance Fresh has opted not to sell vegetables at the outlet. Two hours from launch, the outlet had to down shutters when vendors reached the spot.

The outlet opened to the public again later in the evening, after police intervention.
