Kolhapur: The workers of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, demanding a roll back of cow milk procurement price cut , vandalized Gokul Dairy’s cooling centre at Bidri-Borawade, in Kolhapur’s Kagal tehsil, on Saturday.

They broke the windows and damaged the table of the branch head. Three employees of Gokul were injured. A case has been registered with the Murgud police station.

Four days ago, MNS district president Yuvraj Yedure had given a written statement demanding that Gokul should increase the price paid for cow milk. On Saturday morning, around 15 MNS activists came to Gokul’s cooling centre for Bidri with a demand that the price cut should be revoked and the higher cow milk price should be restored.

Branch head Vijay Kadam called the party workers to his cabin for a discussion. While the discussion was going on, the workers got aggressive and broke the window. The branch head’s table was also broken. Three employees who tried to stop the MNS workers were beaten up with flag sticks.

The injured Gokul employees have been admitted to the CPR hospital. Kadam has lodged a complaint with the Murgud police, and the police have detained the suspects.
