Ukku agitators to donate blood to save VSP from privatisation
Visakhapatnam: Every employee should donate blood to protect Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) from getting privatised on June 14, called out Steel CITU honorary president J Ayodhya Ramu. Unveiling a poster for the blood donation camp here on Friday, Ayodhya Ramu mentioned that for the past 1,600 days, trade unions have been fighting against the 100 percent strategic sale of the VSP and appealing the Centre to change its decision on it. But the government is taking steps to privatise the plant, taking the lives of the workers for granted, he pointed out. It is time for the working class to unite and donate their blood and bring their prob-lems to the attention of the Central government, he mentioned that the recent financial package of Rs.11,440 crore given by the Centre was just an eye wash. The Steel CITU honorary president appealed to the employees and workers to participate in the blood donation camp and extend support to the agitation. Speaking on the occasion, blood donation camp organiser B Apparao explained, 'Through blood donation camps made in the past seven years, we have been able to meet the blood needs of several pa-tients.' He informed that the camp will be organised at Ambedkar Kalakshetram, Ukkunagaram (CWC-1) on the occasion of the World Blood Donation Day on June 14. Steel CITU president YT Das stated that steel workers have already been recognised for donating blood several times. Steel CITU leaders P Srinivasa Raju, K Gangadhar, V Prasad, VDV Poornachandra Rao, Srinivas and Suribabu were present.

Rs 500 notes to be discontinued? PIB calls viral claim fake; YouTube video behind panic
PTI file photo The central government has dismissed claims that Rs 500 currency notes will be phased out by March 2026. On Tuesday, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) issued a fact check on social media, clarifying that the viral news was fake. It confirmed that Rs 500 notes continue to be legal tender and advised people not to fall for such misinformation. Citizens were also urged to verify any such claims through official sources before believing or sharing them. The clarification came after a YouTube channel named CAPITAL TV claimed that the government was planning to discontinue the Rs 500 note by 2026. The video led to confusion and panic among public. The speculation may have intensified after the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) issued a circular in April 2025, according to the economic times. The circular asked banks and White Label ATM Operators (WLAOs) to increase the availability of Rs 100 and Rs 200 notes in ATMs. The Press Information Bureau has been actively working to counter misinformation related to government. In November 2019, it set up a dedicated Fact Check Unit (FCU) to address the growing spread of fake news. Citizens can report suspicious claims through WhatsApp, email, or the official web portal.
