Making a call to the State government to take adequate steps to protect Akshaya e-centres, Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Pannian Ravindran has said that the crisis faced by the centres affects thousands of families.
He was inaugurating a Secretariat march organised by the Forum of Akshaya Centre Entrepreneurs (FACE), a Statewide collective of Akshaya entrepreneurs, on Saturday demanding among other things a revision of the service charges, which has not been revised in close to a decade.
Mr. Ravindran said that the authorities had to pay attention to the plight of the owners of Akshaya centres, which were the digital faces of the government’s services for the public.
