The DDPSU stated that “abduction, extortion, and intimidation of poultry suppliers will no longer be tolerated.” The union demanded “immediate, visible, and result-oriented action” from the district administration and law enforcement agencies to identify, arrest and prosecute those involved. It stated that it would not permit the formation of what it described as exploitative monopolies or syndicates intended to control the market and harm local suppliers. The union said such syndicates posed “a direct threat to the survival of local poultry businesses” and warned that it would take “decisive and non-negotiable action” to block any poultry imports routed through syndicate arrangements. It reiterated that the DDPSU existed to protect local suppliers, defend fair trade and prevent economic exploitation. The DDPSU called upon the authorities to restore law and order immediately, asserting that the safety, dignity and livelihood of poultry suppliers were “non-negotiable.”
