srinagar, Mar 19: Protests continue to take place in parts of Kashmir against the implementation of National Food Security Act (NFSA) despite the announcement of addition in monthly rice quota by authorities.
Women from different parts of Srinagar protested here today, terming the ACT as anti-poor and demanding its roll back.
Raising anti-NFSA slogans, women from Bemina and Parimpora areas said that seven kgs of rice was not enough to feed a person for thirty days of the month. It should be 10 kgs a person, they demanded.
"Here people eat rice twice a day unlike people of other states who are used to eat Dal and Roti, " a protestor said

After protests in Kashmir, Governor NN Vohra-led administration had increased the monthly rice quota from five to seven kgs per person. |
