A large number of people took out a protest march in Dharwad on Thursday in protest against soaring prices of essential commodities, petroleum products, rising unemployment and rampant corruption.
Residents of various slums in Dharwad, surrounding villages, farmers, farm labour, women, students and youth took part in the protest march organised under the aegis of Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist — SUCI-C).
The protestors who congregated at Kalabhavan Grounds marched to the Deputy Commissioner’s office covering the thoroughfares of the city and raising slogans against the Union and State governments for their apathy towards the plight of the common people.
