JAMMU: The Woman Wing of Dogra Front and Shiv Sena staged protest against the rising price of vegetables.
Led by President Dogra Front and Shiv Sena, Ashok Gupta, the women wing activists took out a procession and raised slogans against the State Government.
Gupta said that soaring prices of essentials and others items have badly affected the common people in the State. The prices of vegetables and other food items have reached an unprecedented high, making impossible for the common people to prepare their monthly budget.
Gupta stated that few years back the government used to have a price mechanism policy in which the MSP is decided as per which the prices of the essential commodities were released in day to day basis which used to save the people from the inflated prices. The government should initiate the MSP pricing again so that the people can be saved from the inflation, he added.
He further stated that a committee should be formed which shall keep an eye on the inflated prices of the essential commodities and should be provided with the power and authority to take action against the black marketers. Among those who joined the protest include Shashi, Anju, Nanki, Sudesh, Kalo, Anita, Sudesh, Bantu, Rampaul, Nikku and Abhishek.
