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.
The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) has appealed to the District Collector and the Commissioner of Police not to penalise or obstruct autorickshaws which were being operated for emergency purpose

AAA As tighter lockdown norms came into effect on Monday, confusion reigned in many industrial areas across Bengaluru. Some workers walked to their factories, while others in Peenya industries were turned away by the police. Several factories reported lower attendance as many workers stayed away from work.
Worse still, several industries which had received relaxation, after the State government issued an addendum to the guidelines by Sunday evening, saw many employees remaining absent. For, many of them had left Bengaluru ahead of the lockdown, assuming that the industries would remain closed.
