Leaders of student and youth organisations in the State have urged various organisations to extend their support to the ‘KG-to-PG’ bandh call given by them on November 8 in support of their demand for establishment of the Kadapa steel plant and to protect the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP).
Speaking after releasing a wall poster on the proposed bandh of educational institutions on November 8, coinciding with the completion of 1,000 days of the anti-privatisation protest by VSP employees and trade unions, they said both projects were crucial for development of the State.
They said the ₹8,800-crore steel plant at Sunnapurallapalli in Kadapa district had been a dream for the people of the backward and drought-prone region, and once implemented, it would boost industrial growth in this part of the State.
