Protesting the indirect move to privatise the transport corporations, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-backed Thozhilaalar Munnetra Sangam cadres staged a demonstration here on Tuesday.

Raising slogans against the move, they said the State Government was adopting anti-people and anti-labour policies, “which would smother the transport corporations.”

They came down heavily on the Union Government’s “anti-labour and pro-MNC policies.”
