The Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Prakasam district launched a fortnight-long ‘ Poru Baata Padayatra’ foot march from remote Donakonda village on Sunday.
Flagging off the 300-km foot march, CPI(M) former State secretary P. Madhu demanded the government set up a mining institute and an integral rail coach factory and other public sector units at Donakonda, where vast stretches of government land remained unutilised.
