The activists, who took out a protest march on major roads from the town's Vivekananda Circle, shouted slogans of defiance against the government. Later, they gathered near the Jessi stage and demanded fulfillment of their demands. This request was submitted to the government through the Tahsildar.
AITUC District President H.M. Somappa, who led the protest, said that the central and state governments are following anti-labor, anti-farmer and anti-people policies. He demanded that the state government reject the central government's anti-labor bill.
In Kodagu district, workers have been living in line houses and doing their daily wage work for decades. Many families are living in rented houses. They demanded that the district administration should confiscate the encroached government land and provide land to the landless wage workers.
Farmers' union leaders K.M. Lakshman, AITUC taluk secretary P.T. Sundara, district advisor Sheshappa, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes organization president M.P. Honnappa and others were present in the protest.
