Agitation against Centre’s decision to privatise Visakhapatnam Steel Plant to complete 1,000 days on November 8

The agitation against 100% strategic sale of the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), will be entering 1,000th day on November 8.

The resilient employees, in collaboration with various trade unions, have been able to stall the efforts of the Union Government to sell the company to a private entity.

Soon after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced the strategic sale of RINL on January 27, 2021, the employees and trade unions such as CITU, AITUC and INTUC quickly joined forces to form the Visakha Ukku Parirakshana Porata Committee (VUPPC) to take the agitation forward.
