Coimbatore: The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) has announced a protest rally to be held in Coimbatore on Saturday, September 14, 2024. The demonstration, led by TNCC President K.

The protest is scheduled to take place at 3:00 PM near Gandhi Park in R.S. Puram, opposite Annapoorna Hotel. Selvaperunthakai stated that the rally aims to draw attention to the challenges faced by MSMEs and to urge the central government to implement measures for their protection and growth.

The TNCC leader emphasized the importance of MSMEs in the local and national economy, highlighting their role in job creation and economic development. The protest will also call for Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to apologize, though the specific reason for this demand was not elaborated in the announcement.
