CPI (M) protests for PDS outlets reopening in Puducherry as Chief Minister fails to provide assurance.
The indefinite protest by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) demanding the re-opening of Public Distribution System (PDS) outlets in Puducherry entered its third day on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.
The CPI (M) workers started the protest near the Civil Supplies Department at Kokku Park on Monday, February 19. The party decided to continue with the protest after talks between a delegation led by CPI (M) secretary R. Rajangam with Chief Minister N. Rangasamy at the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, February 20, failed to yield results.
CPI (M) leaders said the Chief Minister refused to give them any assurance on the reopening of the ration shops as, he said, the decision rested with the Union Government. After the talks, the party decided to continue with its agitation till government announces the reopening of ration shops.
