Marking the 100th day of one of the relay hunger strikes in Visakhapatnam against the strategic sale of the steel plant, hundreds of protestors participated in the rally, carrying flags and shouting slogans. The bike rally was held from Kurmannapalem relay hunger strike camp to GVMC Gandhi statue in the city.
All the trade unions associated with the VSP joined the protest and raised their voice against the policies of the Union government. Activists and union representatives wondered why the Centre planned to privatise a profitable industry.
