250 of them launch 25-hour hunger strike to mark 250th day of protest
Hundreds of workers of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VP), representatives of trade unions and people’s organisations gathered at Kurmannapalem and expressed their resolve to prevent privatisation of the plant, even as the relay hunger strike being organised by the Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee continued for the 250th day on Tuesday.
To mark the occasion, 250 members sat on a 25-hour hunger strike that began at 8 a.m.
VSP’s former Director (Operations) K.K. Rao visited the protest camp and recalled his participation in the agitation seeking establishment of the steel plant in 1966.
