Ongole:The women from various places in the Prakasam district raised their voice against the opening of wine shops in the residential areas on Monday. The women from SC Colony and BC Colony in Maddipadu village staged a protest in front of the Prakasam district collectorate in Ongole on Monday and submitted a representation to the district collector.
A Padma, a resident of the village said that the government has accorded permission to a wine shop in the village though they are demanding for canceling of the two existing wine shops for a long time.
She said that the daily wage workers in these colonies are spending their hard-earned money on liquor and are harassing the women in the area. The new shop, which also started in the residential area of the colony intensified their problems and is posing a threat to the security of girls and women in the colonies.
