SP agitation against Reliance Fresh in MP

Indore, May 29 (UNI) About 50 Samajwadi Party leaders and workers courted arrest here today in protest against Reliance Fresh, official sources said.

Former SP MP Kalyan Jain, Town President Gopal Kushwah and the others staged a demonstration in the Commissionerate against SEZs and major companies foraying into the retail sector.

''On May 25, we launched a public awareness campaign,'' said Mr Kushwah. The SP alleged that Reliance Fresh and SEZs would render thousands unemployed.

Reliance Fresh opened six stores here this month for sale of vegetables, fruits etc. It plans to take that number to 24.
