The full story

Congress MLA Satej Patil has announced a protest march in Kolhapur on November 9 to oppose the Maharashtra government's recent decision to appoint four additional directors to the board of the Kolhapur District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union, also known as Gokul Dairy. Patil, whose panel won 13 of 25 seats in recent elections, alleges the government is attempting to seize control of the dairy by altering the board's composition after the election. The dispute follows a legal challenge in the Bombay High Court regarding the election of the dairy's chairman. Patil claims the government's actions insult the people of Kolhapur and violate the democratic mandate of milk producers. The march is scheduled to proceed from Dasara Chowk to the district collector's office. No official response from the state government was reported in the provided sources.
