They vow to intensify agitation on the issue
The workers and employees of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), their family members, trade union representatives, displaced persons and their families cooked food on the streets at four places as part of their ‘Vanta Varpu’ protest demanding that the Centre repeal its decision on strategic sale of the VSP.
The protests were held at Kurmannapalem, Peda Gantyada, near the Telugu Talli statue and at the junction near the Administrative Office Building simultaneously on Friday as part of the ongoing struggles, under the aegis of the Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Committee (VUPPC), to save the steel plant from privatisation.
