Police face tough time to control crowd in town

Following an announcement that people could change their ration cards a large crowd gathered at the counter, manned by a private company personnel. The changing of ration cards has been entrusted to Kometo. The Dalit Sangharsha Samiti learnt that the government collected more money from the public than fixed.

Therefore, the Samiti convenor Sangasandra Vijayakumar and his followers complained to the Tahsildar Jayamadhav.
 
In response, the Tahsildar came to the ration card issuing counter and told the officers to collect not more than Rs 15 as fixed by the government. Prior to this, Rs 20 was being collected from the people.

Rajya Kisan Sabha General Secretary M Gopal rushed to the scene on hearing of the tension at the ration card counter and tried to pacify the crowd. He informed the card-holders that Tahsildar Jayamadhav had announced the dates to collect the ration cards.

He also explained the details of the villages required to be produced for the cards.
