Shimla, February 4

The CITU yesterday staged statewide demonstrations against Labour Codes, Electricity Amendment Bill and the Union Budget. Declaring the Budget against employees, farmers and labourers, CITU warned the government that if Labour Codes, Electricity Amendment Bill and farm laws were not rolled back, the agitation would be intensified.

CITU president Vijender Mehra alleged that the government was working for corporates and was bent upon handing over all financial resources to them. The government had cut down the budget for MGNREGA by 41 per cent and for Anganwari workers by 30 per cent. — TNS
