"I am undertaking a 24-hour hunger strike in front of our party office here and this is basically done to open the eyes of the Centre as we demand the setting up of a Commission and also sanction a sum of Rs one million to all those who lost the breadwinner in their family. "The setting up of the Commission will be helpful to ensure that there are standard protocols laid down to make the necessary assessments of the pandemic," said John.
