By ETF Desk
The Joint Centre of Trade Unions (JCTU) held a 'Jail Bharo' protest in Mangaluru, demanding workers' rights, but the protesters were detained by the police. The protest was a part of the nationwide agitation. The protesters, who were from various trade unions, gathered at the Town Hall in Mangaluru and marched towards the Deputy Commissioner's office, demanding better working conditions and higher wages for workers.
The protesters were met with a strong police presence, and they were eventually detained by the police. The police said that the protesters had not obtained the necessary permission for the protest, which led to their detention. The protesters, however, claimed that they had followed all the necessary procedures and that their detention was unjustified.
The 'Jail Bharo' protest is a form of non-violent protest where protesters voluntarily get arrested and detained by the police. The protest is a way for the workers to draw attention to their demands and to put pressure on the government to implement their demands. The protest has been successful in many parts of the country, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the workers' rights movement in Mangaluru.
