‘Centre bent on destroying public sector, which is the backbone of the nation’
The long-drawn struggle of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) workers assumes great significance “as saving VSP will pave the way for saving the other PSUs in the country,” CPI national secretary D. Raja has said.
Mr. Raja was in the city on Friday to participate in the State-level conference of the party.
The CPI leader called on the VSP workers who had been staging a relay hunger strike for nearly 240 days at Kurmannapalem here under the aegis of the Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee opposing the Cabinet decision on strategic sale of the plant.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
