Mangalore, Aug 27: Demanding to resolve various basic problems of the city, CPI(M) Mangalore city committee organized a mass protest in front of the Mangalore City Corporation here on Monday August 27.
 
Addressing the gathering secretary of CPI(M) Sunil Kumar Bajal said the homeless people in the city should be identified and their application for housing needs should be considered by the MCC. He added that the condition of many roads in various wards and drainage system should be improved.

 
Though roads have been concretized, construction of footpath is a mirage. Disposal of garbage should be done at least twice a day in city limits and once a day in suburban areas. He also came down heavily on the MCC’s apathy over epidemic diseases being spread.

Slaughter house project should be taken on priority, thereby to safeguard the right of people to eat non vegetarian.
 
Around 300 protestors gathered in front of the MCC building and shouted slogans demanding to fulfill their needs.
 
Earlier a procession was carried out from various places like Kankanady, Statebank, Nanthoor, Yeyyadi, Urva Store.
 
CPI(M) district secretary B Madhava, CPI (M) president Vasanth Achar, corporator Jayanthi among others were part of the protest.
