Mysuru: Former Zilla Panchayat President Dr. Pushpa B. Amarnath, who launched a signature campaign demanding the removal of GST (Goods and Services Tax) on sanitary napkins first in Hunsur and then at Maharani’s College and Yuvaraja College in Mysuru, has now intensified the campaign by posting a letter in this regard to Union Minister Nirmala Seetharaman, at Saraswathipuram Post Office here yesterday.
Stating that a memorandum was also submitted to the Union Minister who was in city recently, Dr. Pushpa said that the GST on sanitary napkins has been hiked from 5 percent to 12 percent, which is against the very ethos of women and girls.
