Members belonging to the Centre of Indian Trade Union (CITU) affiliated to the CPI (M) on Tuesday staged a protest near the Legislative Assembly demanding the Government to upgrade the Unorganised Labourers Welfare Society into a Board.
Earlier, the agitators led by CITU president T. Murugan took out a rally from the old bus stand to the Legislative Assembly. They marched through the main streets. They staged a demonstration near the Legislative Assembly to mark their protest against the apathetic attitude of the government towards the welfare of the workers in the unorganised sector.
