Andhracafe.com- HYDERABAD :HYDERABAD: Reviewing the various agitations taken by it over a period of time, the CPM State committee, which met here has resolved to intensify its agitations on various issues concerning general public.

         Extending support to the agitations against rural public schools, the CPM has decided to intensify its agitation against belt shops.

         The other issues discussed by the CPM State committee include nodal agency for implementation of SC, ST special component plan, move to increase property tax in municipal areas, ex gratia to the rain and flood-affected people and spiralling prices.

         The party also directed its legislature wing to raise these issues in the forthcoming winter session of the Assembly.
