Don’t get disheartened by moves of Centre, steel plant workers told
The Hindu
‘Continue the struggles unitedly to stop privatisation of the VSP’
Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Committee chairman D. Adinarayana has said that the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) was established following widespread protests by people against the decision of the then Central government to set up the steel plant elsewhere in the country. He was addressing steel workers, who participated in the 169th day of the relay hunger strike at the steel plant arch at Kurmannapalem here on Friday. The Centre had, however, delayed the construction of the plant, which resulted in the VSP accumulating losses over the years, he said. The government had made plans to refer it to the BIFR (Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction) in the past and hand it over to some corporate groups, he added.More Related News
