Visakhapatnam: Expressing their ire against the Centre's decision to privatise Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, employees of the company along with activists of the trade unions took out a massive dharna at Ukkunagaram in Visakhapatnam on Friday.

Scores of protestors who arrived at the steel plant to voice their views against privatisation laid emphasis that the stir would intensify in the coming days if the government refuses to withdraw the proposal.

To establish the steel plant, the protesters said, many had lost their lives. They added that they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives even now to save the company from getting privatised if the government fail to budge.
