The Communist Party of India (Marxists) staged demonstrations across the state in protest against the hike in fuel prices and unemployment and demanded that the Central government roll back the price hike.
The protesters handed over a memorandum addressed to the President of India to the district magistrate.
Giving this information to news persons, CPI(M) state secretary Heera Lal Yadav said the economy of the country was in tatters and unemployment was at its highest percentage during the last 45 years.
“The fuel prices are all time high these days and about 80 per cent of the people who solely depend on daily wages are the worst hit. Their lives have been shattered,” he said.
