Nine major trade unions of transport department on Tuesday staged demonstrations in front of TNSTC depots in the district protesting against the Centre’s attempt to privatize public sector units. They were opposed to the Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman’s announcement of monetizing various PSUs to raise ₹ 6 lakh crore. “Already, the Centre has opened banks and insurance companies to private players. Now, it has set its eye on people-centric areas like transport and electricity which will have major impact on services to people and also to rights of labourers,” said general secretary of CITU (Transport), Virudhunagar region, M. Vellaidurai.More Related News
