Leaders of various trade unions warned the Centre of taking the fight against privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) to the streets of Delhi, if the Union government failed to revoke its decision on privatisation of the VSP in Parliament sessions scheduled to begin on July 19.

Ramakrishna, INTUC leaders Gandham Venkata Rao and Murali Raju, CITU leader J. Ayodhya Ram and BMS leader Kommineni Srinivasa Rao expressed their solidarity with the striking workers.

AITUC leaders D. Narasinga Rao, G. Jaya, K. Rajababu and V. Ramakoteswara Rao were among those who participated in the strike.
