Jamshedpur: Jharkhand Vikas Morcha leader and the sitting MP of Jamshedpur Dr Ajoy Kumar today appealed to corporate houses of the city and other companies to declare 17th April a holiday on account of the Lok Sabha election in Jamshedpur constituency.
Kumar has written to the managing director of Tata Steel, plant head of Tata Motors, chief election officer of Jharkhand and the deputy commissioner-cum-district returning officer of East Singhbhum in this regard.
He said announcing a holiday on the polling day will ensure higher voting percentage in the constituency.
He said the urban areas were still far behind when it came to polling. He said salaries should not be deducted for the holiday.
