Some grown-ups called trade union leaders are upset with the rules the government makes for workers and farmers.

They think workers should be paid more and treated more fairly.

They also want farmers to get better prices for the crops they grow.

So, they are planning a big protest called 'Jail Bharo' on August 10.

Many people, including workers, farmers, and the public, are being asked to join.

The leaders have a list of wishes, like a higher minimum wage and more government work days.

They also want their district, Kurnool, to be officially called a drought-hit area so farmers can get help.

The leaders met on Saturday at a government office in Devanakonda to plan the protest.

They hope the government will listen to them and make life better for working people.
