A large group of autorickshaw drivers affiliated to Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) staged a protest in front of the Welfare Board Office here on Tuesday urging the government to give Pongal gift hampers to them.
The autorickshaw drivers protested with vessels, firewood and sugarcane to indicate that they can celebrate the Pongal festival happily only if the government distributed Pongal gift hampers to them.
CITU district secretary R. Deivaraj said that the government is distributing Pongal gift hampers to construction workers registered with the welfare board. “So, the government must extend the distribution of Pongal gift hampers to autorickshaw drivers as well,” he said.
LUDHIANA: A massive protest was staged here on Friday against the central and state governments by several trade unions and Anganwadi workers in support of the farmers protesting against the new agriculture laws. The protest call was given by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (Citu).
The police had a tough time tackling the protesters, who had gathered outside the mini secretariat, and minor scuffles were also witnessed between them. Traffic movement was affected briefly as the protesters came on the main road to stage a march.
Subash Rani, district president of Anganwadi Mulazam Union, Punjab, said, “The Centre is misusing its powers to help some corporate houses. On one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi boasts of Make in India mission, while on the other, he is selling one after another public undertaking to Adani and Ambani. On the pretext of bringing bullet trains in the country, attempts are being made to sell even the railways to the corporates.
