LDF to Form 700-km-long Human Chain in Kerala to Protest Demonetisation

The Left Democratic Front will organise, on December 29, a 700-km-long human chain extending from the Raj Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram to the northernmost Kasargode to protest the demonetisation drive which has crippled the state's cooperative banking sector.

A statement issued by the Communist Party of India(Marxist) said that it has directed all the Left Democratic Front cadres and supporters to see that they arrive at their designated places by 4 pm and by 5 pm they all should stand with their hands held together .

"The human chain will basically be staged on the national highway from here to Kasargode, while in the southern districts where the national highway does not pass through, they have been asked to join the human chain at Alappuzha, while in districts like Idukki and Wayanad, there will be separate protests. This is basically to register our protest against the centre's wrong policies with regards to demonetisation," said the statement.
