MADURAI: Thirty-four agricultural labourers, including seven women, belonging to the Communist Party of India were arrested on Monday for trying to stage a dharna, demanding the implementation of the Kolappan Committee recommendations.

The protestors, led by the district secretary, N. Jyothiramalingam, also wanted to revive the welfare board for them.
