Workers, women take part in legal aid camp

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD June 22. About 200 persons participated in a legal aid and literacy camp conducted by the Mahatma Gandhi Law College, Kothapet, at Gajularamaram village in Qutbullapur mandal of Ranga Reddy district today.

The participants, mostly workers in the adjoining industrial area and women, asked questions relating to trade union problems and dowry harassment and bigamy respectively. The camp was organised by final year students and others.

Senior advocate, V.V. Kishen Rao, explained about women's rights.

The Principal, Vishnumurthy, said the legal aid clinic of the college was willing to help the poor.

The college would organise another legal aid camp in the village on June 29.

Plea to weavers

Our Staff Reporter writes: The A.P. Handloom Weavers Association has given a call to weavers to confront officials demanding houses and pension during the coming Janmabhoomi.

The association in a press release urged weavers to mount pressure on the Government to implement the promises made to them.

It reminded them that the Government had backtracked on its promise of sanctioning 40,000 houses at a cost of Rs. 135 crores.

The Government was now saying only 20,000 houses had been sanctioned.
