STRIKE CALL IN INDIA
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) AGRA (Uttar Pradesh), July 12.
Authorities in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous State, yesterday arrested about 300 people in tough measures on the eve of a general strike called for tomorrow by the State’s leftwing party alliance. This brought the official total of arrests over the last three days to 570—half of them party workers, and half of them so-called “bad characters.”
The strike is in protest against rising living costs and a recent increase in the tax levied on land holdings.
