KMSS vegetable shops draw huge crowd in Guwahati

In a bid to rid of middlemen, the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) today opened two ‘fair price’ stalls for vegetables at Chandmari and RG Baruah Road Tiniali after procuring the produce in bulk from farmers in Barpeta Road where they had been deprived of their due remuneration due to large-scale presence of middlemen and illegal syndicates in the trade.

Both the stalls run by the KMSS drew overwhelming response from the citizens who made a beeline to the stalls to get vegetables at half the price sold in the city markets.

“The response has been so great that we exhausted our supply meant for the proposed six stalls in the first two stalls itself. We are committed to sell vegetables at half the market price here, and will open eight more stalls in the city,” KMSS publicity secretary Kamal Kumar Medhi said.

Assam Accord was “faulty and weak” says KMSS

The Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) today said the Assam Accord was a “faulty and weak” agreement, which can’t solve the problem of illegal infiltration, as Dispur claimed that the white paper on foreigners issue was a true picture of facts.
