Ongole: Under the aegis of the Left parties, Ryot Sangham, Vyavasaya Karmik Sangham, and other labour unions, 'Rasta Roko'was organised at the Sagar Centre here on Friday, demanding that the Central government desist the move to privatise the Visakha Steel Plant and to roll back the prices of petrol and diesel immediately.
CPM district secretary Punati Anjaneyulu said that due to the privatisation of VSP, 40,000 workers would lose livelihood and several lakhs of people who indirectly depended upon the steel plant would also lose livelihood.
