The group led by former MP Naresh staged protests at Gandhi Chowk jointly under the banner of Vidarbha Kisan Majdoor Sangh, Youth Congress, NSUI and INTUC.Yet another agitation was staged at Datal Bridge on Irai River flaying the administration for ignoring the threat of flood from the river as its beds have turned shallow following accumulation of silt and weed all around.
MP Balu Dhanorkar staged an agitation at the district collectorate with Congress leaders of district and city. Protestors burned copies of three central laws against the farmers. Inflation has reached sky high during the seven-year regime of BJP at the Centre, Dhanorkar said.
