Opposition Congress in Puducherry has decided to stage a demonstration here on March 31 to protest against the Land Acquisition Bill.
The decision was taken at a joint meeting of functionaries of different wings of the party.
The demonstration would also register protest against the decision of the Karnataka government to construct dams across Cauvery at Mekedatu as farmers in Karaikal region.
Earlier addressing the participants at the meeting the former AICC General Secretary V Narayanasamy said the amendments sought to be made by the Centre in the Land Bill would cause a big blow and jeopardise the farmers.
He also charged the Rangasamy led AINRC government in Puducherry with failure to spend fully the allocations made every year under plan head by the Centre.
