The former Prime Minister, V.P. Singh called upon the Capital's poor living in slum clusters to come out on the streets on March 27 to observe "Garib Divas". Industrial workers of the Capital and those living in the satellite townships of Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and Gurgaon too would go on a day's strike on March 27, he announced at a press conference. Mr Singh said his Jan Chetna Manch has decided to observe March 27 as "Garib Divas" every year to commemorate the victory of slum dwellers against the demolition of Wazirpur Industrial Area Slums the same day three years ago in 2000.
