Protests will be held outside 250 Central government offices in the State on Friday as part of the nationwide stir against the controversial farm Bills.
In Thiruvananthapuram, senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader and All India Kisan Sabha vice president S. Ramachandran Pillai will inaugurate the protest outside the Raj Bhavan, the Karshaka Samyuktha Samithi, which is spearheading the agitation in the State, said.
