Rudrapur traders and farmers protest over warehouse occupation; demand fair leasing and storage space ahead of harvest season
In Rudrapur, farmers and adhatias (traders) gathered at the Agricultural Produce Market Committee complex to demand accountability over allotment of a portion of the government warehouse. They allege the space was leased to a single party for private gain, prompting industrial actions and a threat to intensify the protest if the issue isn’t resolved. Officials maintain the warehouse was leased through a transparent tender process to boost market income.
