The victims of the LG Polymers styrene monomer vapour leak staged a protest at Venkatapuram on Friday demanding immediate shifting of the plant. The affected victims, under the aegis of the CPI(M), held banners in support of their demands. CPI(M) city secretary B. Ganga Rao decried the failure of the State government to arrest the company management even though three weeks had passed since the tragedy had occurred at the plant. The government had failed to make a definite statement on shifting of the plant so far. He alleged that the company management was indulging in false propaganda in South Korea that the people of Venkatapuram were demanding continuation of the LG plant at the same place.
