: 150 AITUC workers today observed one-day fast here in protest against the continued cash crunch post demonetisation,which they alleged was adversely affecting the poor and common man.
Led by AITUC State secretary, M Arumugham, they raised slogans against the Centre for creating such a 'pathetic situation' and demanded that it immediately declare that the demonetised Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 will be valid till enough notes are in circulation and ease the situation, police said.
The Government should take steps on a war footing to mitigate the sufferings of the people, particularly poor and common man, who find it difficult to make both ends meet, they said.
