The coordination committee of Udupi District Building and Other Construction Workers began an indefinite Dharna demanding adequate supply of laterite stone for the construction of buildings in the district in front of Rajatadri, the district office complex, in Manipal on Monday.
Centre of Indian Trade Unions State vice-president Balakrishna Shetty, addressing the protesters, said the shortage of laterite stone has severely affected poor families who intend to construct new houses and construction workers alike in the district.
