A large number of people from western Odisha staged a demonstration here on Monday demanding adequate supply of coal to industries within the state to save them from being shut.
People belonging to different spheres of life from places like Jharsuguda, Sundargarh and Sambalpur gathered near Master Canteen Square under the banner of "Bisthapit Sachetan Samiti" (BSS) to press their demand.
The demonstrators, led by Congress leader and MLA from Jharsuguda, Naba Kishore Das, who is also Convener of the Samiti, also sent a memorandum to the Coal Minister highlighting their demands.
The slogan shouting demonstrators held placards with messages like "Odisha's coal - our right", "Provide coal and save industries" and "Odisha's coal for Odisha's progress."
