COLOMBO (News 1st); The Professionals' Trade Union Collective has decided to launch a nation-wide protest on Wednesday (22) against the unjust tax policy.

Spokesperson for the Government Medical Officers' Association, Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe said that over 40 trade unions will take part in Wednesday's (22) protest.

The main protest will take place opposite the Fort Railway Station in Colombo.
