Mangalore, Sep 20: Members of several labour organisations, who came together under the banner of CITU, took out a protest march from Ambedkar circle (Jyothi Circle) to the Deputy Commissioner's office here on Friday, demanding minimum wage, check on price hike of essential commodities, implementation of labour laws and signing an agreement which gives the right to labourers to form unions and have their rights at work place.

Addressing the protesters at a public meeting in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner after the protest march, State unit president of the CITU B Madhava said that state government is not bothered about the working class.

"Issues concerning beedi workers, Anganwadi workers, Auto drivers, other daily wage labourers and construction workers have to be discussed in detail in the Assembly. Wages fixed in 2009 have to be revised,” he demanded.

Recalling the signature campaign by unorganised workers who had submitted a memorandum with 10 lakh signatures to the State Government, he said that the Government had failed to respond to it.

Sunil Kumar Bajal of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) said that entry of multi-national consumer malls will affect vendors. Street vendors are seeking mercy. He said that since the auto drivers are not provided with proper auto stands in the city they have been paying heavy amount as penalty to the RTO.

K Balakrishna Shetty, CITU district general secretary handed over a memorandum to Assistant labour commissioner Nagesh during the protest meet.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Members and activists of social organisation Rakshana Vedike on Thursday staged a protest and demanded the arrest of BJP MLA Somashekhara Reddy, for his 'provocative' remarks and statements.

The protesters gathered near Gandhi’s statue near Maurya circle in the city and demanded that the BJP MLA should be arrested immediately.

The protesters alleged that Reddy’s remark were aimed at inciting communal hatred and that his remarks do not do justice to his being an elected representative of the people in the state assembly.

Mangaluru, Mar 31: With the Dakshina Kannada district administration relaxing the lockdown from 6 am to 3 pm to purchase essential commodities, panic-stricken citizens rushed to the shops early in the morning itself.

The citizens had formed a serpentine line in front of shops and supermarkets in different parts of Mangaluru and on the outskirts of the city to purchase their requirements.

As a precautionary measure, many were seen wearing masks.

“In spite of waiting in a long queue to purchase, we are not able to get the required essential commodities. Why can’t the district administration ensure enough stock of commodities in the shops and supermarkets,’’ asked a customer who had stood in a queue outside a supermarket at Chilimbi.
People were seen crowding outside markets at Kankanady, Mallikatte, Urwa and Central Market, violating the purpose of social distancing.

Consequently, vegetable prices have increased in the markets and shops. This is despite abundant stocks being available in these markets.

Trucks had unloaded the vegetables at Central Market on Sunday, according to sources. The prices of onions are skyrocketing yet again and is sold from Rs 50 to Rs 55 while a kg of carrot costs Rs 100.

"Why can’t the authorities check the rise in the price of vegetables and ensure that the poor are not inconvenienced," asks Lakshmi, a housewife.
