“The market is on fire, and the people are severely suffering. Both governments at the Centre and state have failed to reduce prices,” he added.

In such a situation, a people’s movement is inevitable, Sarma asserted.

“On May 22, AASU will start a protest march against price rise and to demand a reduction in the rates of essential items,” he added.

AASU has not shared details of the proposed protest as of now. (PTI)
