Hassan: The incident took place on Thursday when the women of various Self Help Sanghs, Stri Shakti Sanghs and the activists of Karave Praveen Shetty faction expressed their outrage that some people are selling Madhya illegally in some villages under the jurisdiction of Bage Gram Panchayat of the taluk.
The protesting women spoke to the surrounding villages like Arasunagar, Yadehalli, and a few houses of Bage village and alleged that there is a lot of middle-market selling here, even though complaints were made to the concerned department and the rural police station to no avail, they lashed out at the officials.
Local authorities have not taken action against many such illegal activities going on in the taluk. This should come to the attention of the senior officials of the district. In this regard, the women have demanded that the District Collector, Superintendent of Police, Sakleshpur DYSP and Deputy Divisional Officers should hold a public grievance meeting in Bage village.
Gram Panchayat President Jayashankar visited the protest site and worked to convince the members of the women’s association that they will take steps to prevent illegal middle selling in Bage Gram Panchayat.
Karave Praveen Shetty faction taluk president Ramesh Pujari, Janani Mahila Samaj president Roopa Rajesh, Mahila Sangh office bearers Saujanya, Vanajakshi, villagers, men’s association members and women participated in the protest.
