Porata committee decides to organise Visakha bandh on March 5
The arrest of leaders of the Left parties, Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee, trade unions and people’s organisations, who were staging a protest at Maddilapalem Junction on Friday, came in for severe condemnation.
The arrested leaders raised slogans denouncing the Centre’s decision to completely divest its stake in the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) and the action of the State government in arresting the leaders, who were staging a peaceful protest seeking protection of the VSP.
A rasta roko was organised under the aegis of the committee, on the call given by the Left parties and trade unions against the privatisation of the VSP. Committee member V. Krishna Rao alleged that the police had arrested leaders and workers, who were staging a peaceful protest.
