Govt to introduce 200 mobile rythu bazars
The State government will shortly introduce 200 mobile rythu bazars at all thickly populated areas across the State to help both consumers and farmers, informed Agriculture Minister Prathipati Pulla Rao.
Visakhapatnam: The State government will shortly introduce 200 mobile rythu bazars at all thickly populated areas across the State to help both consumers and farmers, informed Agriculture Minister Prathipati Pulla Rao.
VP Rythu Bazar here on Tuesday to interact with consumers and farmers to assess the problems in rythu bazars. He said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had introduced the concept of rythu bazars in 2004 to help provide marketing facility and Minimum Support Price to all farmers and later, the Congress party which ruled the State had diluted the very concept of rythu bazars.
The government is now planning to construct 12 cold storages to provide fresh vegetables and 23 fruit ripening chambers across the State to help the farmers and to provide fresh fruits without carbide, he added.
When local MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu appealed to the Minister to allot four mobile rythu bazars to the Vizag East Assembly segment, the latter agreed. When the Minister was informed that the farmers were selling vegetables to hoteliers, he asked Joint Director of Marketing Srinivasa Rao to inquire into the issue. Special Officer of Rythu Bazars S T Naidu, Deputy Director of Marketing Sudhakar Rao and Assistant Director Kaleswara Rao were also present.
Later, Ministers Atchannaidu and Pulla Rao flayed the ongoing protests at the Collectorates by the YSR Congress Party demanding the Centre to accord Special Category Status for AP.
They alleged that YSR Congress President Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has been indulging in such protests only to protect the very existence of his party adding that all will be happy if Jagan, along with his party cadres, stage similar protests in New Delhi demanding Special Category Status.
The Ministers said that the Chief Minister has so far discussed 23 times with the Centre about the demand and they all hope that the Centre will take a positive decision soon. When asked about the issue of Brandix workers, Atchennaidu replied that the present Payment of Minimum Wages Act must be amended to ensure justice to the workers and there is a possibility of amending the Act next year.
