Student unions burn Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal effigies

GUWAHATI: Following an appeal made by the All Kamrup (Metro) District Students' Union, all regional students' union of the Kamrup (Metro) on Wednesday burnt effigies of Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Food and Civil Supplies Minister Phani Bhusan Choudhury against the government's 'failure' to control the price hike of food materials.

All Kamrup (Metro) District Students' general secretary Dibyajyoti Medhi said the price hike has distressed the public.

"The government has failed to bring relief to the people who were economically affected during the lockdown. Due to lack planning in the concerned departments, the people are forced to buy essential items at a high price. The government has not taken any initiative to curb the syndicates of vegetables," stated Medhi in an issued statement.
