Market committee records faulty, say traders

Staff Reporter

GUNTUR: The Guntur Chilli Merchants’ Association has demanded a CBCID inquiry into the actual loss of chilli bags in the fire that gutted Agriculture Market Yard here on May 3 and claimed that all entries made in the gate register at the yard were wrong.

At a press conference here on Wednesday, the association president Kilaru Roshaiah said that the association stood by its claim of 2,69,000 tikkies lost in the inferno and it was up to the authorities to check the genuinity and if found false they were ready to get prosecuted for that. Double check also can be done both at farmer’s end and at the yard, he said.

The Market Committee had entered the names of several farmers in the 92,000 tikkies list, who had sold their produce and had got money for that. “This fact came to light in Durgi Mandal on Wednesday at Muthkuru, where out of 20 persons in the list 12 did not have their stocks in the yard at that time,” he claimed.
