Workers belonging to the parties took out a march from Anna Salai and later held a demonstration near the Electricity Department. They held placards carrying messages denouncing the move to privatise the department.
Party workers also criticised the NDA government at the Centre and in Puducherry for providing poor-quality electricity meters to people. CPI secretary A.M Saleem, CPI(M) secretary R. Rajangam, VCK principal secretary Deva Pozhilan, former Minister R. Viswanathan and former legislator N. Kalainathan were among those who took part in the protest.
