Left to organise 'Chalo Hyderabad' on March 19

Vijayawada, Feb 21: Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India Democratic Women's Association and other CPI(M) affilated organisations will jointly organise a 'Chalo Hyderabad' programme on March 19 to mount pressure on the Andhra Pradesh Government to solve the problems faced by people of the state.

Talking to newspersons here today, CITU City Secretary M Ahmed said the state government had failed to fulfil its poll promises of welfare schemes and development programmes.

The government also failed to accomplish its poll promises like house sites to poor, filling 2.5 lakh vacant posts in various departments, filling 1.20 lakh SC, ST and BC backlog posts and 25 paise interest loans for women's organisations under special schemes, he said.

He also urged the state government to implement Minimum Wages Act, ESI and PF facilities to unauthorised sector workers, action against atrocities on women, sufficient allocations in the budget for minorities, special package for handicrafts industry and financial aid to students belonging to backward classes.
