Thousands of people, including workers, employees, displaced persons and their families, marched to the Administrative Office Building of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) and picketed it on Tuesday morning on the call given by the Visakha Steel Plant Parirakshana Porata Committee.
It’s learnt that except the A shift workers and officers, who reached their workspots by 6 a.m., none others could attend to their duties due to the agitation. Many of the workers came out and joined the agitation, while only the officers and a few workers were left in the plant, according to trade union sources.
