User charges in Barber shops opposed

Tirupati, Mar 1 (UNI) Sri Raghavendra Nayi Brahmana Sangham today opposed the Andhra Pradesh government's proposed move to impose user charges on barber shops in municipal towns.

Sangham president Y V Ramana told UNI that the move to levy user charges would affect the livlihood of Nayi Brahmins, who were earning through traditional profession.

The user charge of Rs 500 on saloon is already in vogue in Hyderabad corporation limits.
