The Hindu
The employees and union leaders pledge to continue their fight like the farmers’ agitation, till the Union Government withdraws its decision
The agitation taken up by the leaders and members of all trade unions and employees of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant under the banner Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee (VUPPC) against the 100% strategic sale of the public sector steel plant, is nearing one year, as they had taken it up on February 11, last year, as Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced it in the Budget-2021.
Though crowd at the camps have thinned down over the days, but their resolve appears to be grown stronger and they are determined to continue the agitation till the Union Government withdraws its decision, as it had done in the case of the Farmers Act.
