 Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Nothing drives us more than standing in solidarity with the people's movements. Our teams are on the ground covering these movements extensively and hoping to bring out a change. In this segment, we bring you a round-up of various such protests and movements that have taken place across the country over the past few weeks. Currently, India is witnessing a surge in student protests against unfair hostile norms and gender discrimination. The new wave of agitation is bringing with it a message that is loud and clear that the students need to be treated as responsible adults and their freedom and expression cannot be restricted in the name of safety. On October 29th, women hostiliers in Punjab University began protesting against hostile curfew timings for girls. They were led by the Students for Society, SFS, All India Students Association, ISA and the Punjab Students Union, Lalkar. Their main demand is that the girls' hostile gates should remain open round the clock. On 16th November, hundreds of sanitation workers employed in various urban local bodies, public sector undertakings and private companies from various states held the National Convention on Sanitation Workers. It was under the banner of All India Municipal Workers' Federation and All India's Central Council of Trade Unions near Parliament in New Delhi. Municipal workers across the country for past several decades have been fighting for payment of better wages, regularisation of their services and dignity of work. To no avail, they took to the streets yet again. No one is able to provide us with proper care. Until we are able to provide them with proper care, they are sent to Ganga Jamuna. They are found by the police. If they are found, they are fine. If they are not, they are left crying. After 40 days of ongoing agitation in Ghaziabad, more than 500 employees of the Central Electronics Limited, or CEL, have brought their agitation to the streets of Delhi. The central government is currently inviting applications from bidders to sell off 100% of its stake in the company, which will lead to a complete overhaul of the management. The attempts of privatisation are likely to put on the line lives of over 1,000 workers of the company along with their families. The attempts to privatise the profit-making public sector undertaking is also significant in the light of the upcoming Defence Corridor in Uttar Pradesh, where the centre is encouraging corporates to invest by giving subsidies on land, electricity, etc. Determined to ensure that CEL is not sold off, the employees are planning to intensify their agitation and perhaps will take legal recourse as all attempts at political negotiations have failed. Together with the government, the government is at a disadvantage. The government has found a profitable company which makes the product of Defence, which makes the products of Defence so shifted that it makes only two companies in the entire world. So they are also looking down on it. That's all for this week. To follow detailed reports on these protestant movements, please visit our website and our Facebook page. Thank you.
