Police detain KMSS activists

-The Times of India

GUWAHATI: Hundreds of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) activists were prevented by police from staging a demonstration in the Golaghat district on Saturday.

KMSS claimed that four of their members were injured when police used force to stop their procession, which was heading towards the sub-division office. The activists were also detained. "We were about 300 people in the procession. We planned the protest after the district administration failed to provide us the inquiry report on fund mismanagement underMGNREGA in Kuruwabari panchayat. Our RTI applications have exposed the anomalies in fund utilization, and based on the findings, the administration set up an inquiry. But till Saturday, the report was not made public even after the completion of inquiry," Golaghat unit KMSS secretary Ratan Dou said.

He said since Wednesday, KMSS activists were on sit-in demonstration against the MGNREGA fund mis-utilisation in Bokakhat. After the procession was stopped on Saturday, KMSS has threatened to launch an indefinite hunger-strike in front of the Golaghat deputy commissioner's office from Monday. tnn
