The tech giant is proving to be quite difficult to deal with and uncooperative with the authorities over the matter as stated by the state Home Minister Narottam Mishra.
“There are no guidelines for online businesses. We’ll make guidelines for MP. Amazon was called but they’re not cooperating. We will bring them. I appeal to Amazon’s MD-CEO to cooperate or else we’ll initiate action.”
As a result of this, the police force were compelled to issue a 20-point notice to Amazon.
