Shimla, Aug. 9 -- Himachal Kisan Sabha (HKS) and the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) on Sunday called upon farmers, agricultural labourers and workers to participate in nationwide protests on August 10 against what they termed "anti-farmer, anti-worker and corporate-friendly policies" of the government.

In a joint press note, the organisations said protests would be held across Himachal Pradesh at around 25 locations at district, sub-divisional and block levels as part of the nationwide call given by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and Central Trade Unions (CTUs).

The organisations said the August 10 protests would include democratic programmes such as 'Jail Bharo', 'Rasta Roko', 'Rail Roko' and other forms of demonstrations.
