Tumkur: AITUC stages protest against the Center’s anti-labor policies
Tumkur: Opposing the central government’s anti-labor policies, AITUC carried out a protest march from Town Hall to BSNL office under the theme ‘Mazdoor Bachao, Desh Bachao, Modi Hathao’.
Addressing labors at Town Hall, AITUC district president Girish said the Union Government is practicing anti-labor and pro-owner policies by converting about 44 labor laws into four simplified codes. As per the existing law, all the rules of the labor laws are applicable if there are 20 workers in a factory or company, but it has been increased to 40 in the new law. As a result, around 47 crore unorganized labors are going to come out of the labor laws. It will be like; there won’t be any relation between the owner and the labors. So we are fighting to scrap this law, "he said.
“The central government has snatched away the cesses of labor welfare, building workers, beedi workers, and other cesses; by implementing GST. Now, for everything we must stand before the central government with folded hands,” he added.
This is precisely the same as the millions of construction labors, Beedi labors, and other workers are being done injustice. Also, the owners have knocked the court’s door against the board's decision as per which the minimum wage of Rs.14,000 per month must be given to labors. The central government is indirectly supporting it, he accused.
Many protesters including AITUC Ashwatnarayana, Satyanarayana, Ramesh Shira, Madhugiri Ramanna, Thurvekere Sivananda, Gubbi Doddatimmaiah, Ravishankar of Indosis were present.

Buxar (PTI): A man was arrested in Bihar’s Buxar district for sending a message to a foreign intelligence agency’s website, claiming that he could compromise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security in exchange for money, police said.
The accused, identified as Amal Kumar Tiwari of Simri locality, was apprehended on Thursday night. Police seized a laptop, mobile phones and other digital evidence from his premises.
“Police received information that Tiwari posted a message on the website of the USA-based intelligence agency. He demanded money in exchange for compromising the security of the Indian PM," the Buxar police said in a statement on Friday.
It was found that in his seized mobile phone, multiple virtual private networks (VPNs) and some apps were installed, which were used to access the dark web, it said.
A VPN is a tool that creates an encrypted, private tunnel for one's internet traffic over public networks, providing enhanced privacy, while the dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines and requires special software to access.
The police statement said that fake identity documents were also recovered from his premises, which were being used for cybercrimes.
“During interrogation, the accused confessed his involvement in the incident. It was also revealed that earlier he had been involved in a case of threatening to hack Kolkata airport's website,” the statement said.
