Udupi, December 14: Koraga Abhivruddhi Sanghagala Okkuta, Karnataka-Kerala, staged a dharna in front of the DC office here on Wednesday, protesting against the continued Ajalu practice in Udupi district.

In a memorandum submitted to the Deputy Commissioner they said that in spite of the prohibition on Ajalu system, which differenciates Koragas from other members of the community, the system was practices in the Kenjooru Kamabala.

Though information to the Udupi Tahasildar, who is also the president of the taluk level committee implementing the ban on Ajalu system, about the practice of Ajalu during the Kenjuru Kambala, was given writing, inspite of the undertaken given by the organizers of Brahma Baidarkala Kambala, in the presence of the police, the practice continued.

Though the members of the Okkuta, from the spot, informed the police of the Ajalu being practiced in Vaddambettu, Sub Inspector of Police failed to take action against the culprits, they alleged.

They demanded the immediate suspension of Brahmavar Sub Inspector and Udupi Tahasildar and stern police action against the organisers. They also demanded the district administration for comprehensive and immediate action against the Ajalu system across the district.

They threatened to hold an indefinite dharna from Dec 22 if their demands were not met. The dharna was held under the leadership of Dinesh Kenjoor, Gauri Kenjoor, Dinakar Kenjoor and others.

Bengaluru, May 15: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the new amendment in the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act will substantially aid the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce.

"Our motto is 'First Farmers'. The new amendment in the APMC Act will provide an opportunity for farmers to sell their produce directly to any purchase outside APMC or in other APMCs. This will help the farmers in getting remunerative price for their produce," CM Yediyurappa tweeted.

"Amendment will not dilute the powers of the work of the APMCs. All these marketing activities will be monitored by the Directorate of State APMC. This new amendment Act will benefit farmers in improving their income & suffering from losses due to market fluctuations," the Karnataka CM added.

Yediyurappa further said that the amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022.

"This amendment will indirectly help farmers in doubling their income by 2022. I want to clarify that we have not removed the APMC Act, we are only amending 2 sections of the APMC Act which enable farmers to sell their produce at the markets where they intend to," he tweeted.
