A joint forum of ten central trade unions on Thursday gave a call to observe Black Day for Indian Democracy on May 26 by weaning black badges and putting up black flags to press the government for their demands on May 26.
Their demands include free vaccination for all, free ration and Rs 7,500 per month for the poor, repealing three farm laws and minimum support price for crops and withdrawal of four labour codes passed by Parliament last year. These codes are not implemented so far because rules under those are yet to be notified.
