Union plans protests
The Water Supply and Sanitation Employees Union has alleged that the state government had created bad situation in the department by giving it in the hands of private players and contractors. Even after taking loan of crores of rupees, the government had failed to provide water to the masses. Against this, the employees union has decided to hold state-wide protests starting from December 24 at Ludhiana. Effigies of the state government will also be burnt during the protests. — TNS
