All India Labor Association burns effigy, stages protest
Mangaluru: The All India Labor Association today staged a protest demanding the construction of hospital for beedi workers and to stop the unauthorized businesses like massage parlor, club, pub and game.
The protesters, during the protest, burnt the effigy of the Labor Department accusing it of turning a blind eye on such illegal businesses.
Addressing the protesters, Sudatta Jain Shirtadi said, despite staging several protests, Bidi workers hospital is not been built. “In August last year, the DC has been requested to stop the illegal businesses in the city. But no action has been taken,” he added.
Anita Shirtadi, Vijayashree, and others also spoke on the occasion. Labour association’s District President Santosh Kavoor, General Secretary Raju Kulal, Deepak Rao and Ravi Kavoor were also present.
