The CPI (M) district committee has drawn up a plan to undertake a string of protests across the district in the next few weeks to highlight people’s issues and exert pressure on the State government to resolve long pending issues of shelterless poor people, podu farmers and unemployed youth. Party sources said that the month-long agitation programme will start with rallies/demonstrations at the village-level on September 4, followed by mandal-level protests and a dharna in Khammam on September 6 to press for a charter of demands including sanction of two-bedroom houses and ration cards to all eligible poor people. On September 30, the members of the party’s frontal organisations, including the Telangana Rythu Sangham in association with other mass organisations, will lay siege to the main roads in tribal areas demanding immediate steps to resolve podu farmers’ issues.
