Demanding the repeal of the recently-amended APMC Act and opposing the reduction of funds to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, hundreds of women, mostly agricultural labourers, took out a rally at Aland in Kalaburadi district on Saturday.
Organised under the banner of the Akhil Bharatiya Janwadi Mahila Sanghatana, the protesters, who had arrived from surrounding villages including Munnolli, Jambalaga, Tadakal and Jidaga, raised slogans against the Union and the State governments for their “insensitivity” towards the burning issues of the people.
