The protesters, who staged a massive demonstration at Randhir Verma Chowk of Dhanbad near the district headquarter under the banners of district unit of Bihar- Jharkhand Sales Representative’s Union by symbolically chaining themselves, also raised slogans against the union government's decision to replace the 44 labour laws with four codes which they claimed deprived them of various rights.

The agitators further charged the government to increase the tax on life-saving items like medicines and drugs from 5% to 12% which is affecting the common people in many ways.

Talking to media at the demonstration site at Randhir Verma Chowk during the sidelines of the agitation, Sandeep Aich district president of Bihar Jharkhand Sales Representative’s Union said, “The round the clock tracking of the medical representatives is in violation of laid norms as it can be carried only by the government in the national interest with the prior permission of the court.
