LDF has called for a hartal in Kottayam
district demanding measures to be taken to save the rubber farmers. LDF
activists took out protest marches in many places in the district. The dawn to
dusk hartal was peaceful but partial. While buses remained off the road and
shops remained closed, private vehicles could be seen in large numbers on the
road.

a kg at Cochin, while RSS3 grade closed at `.85.14 a kg at
Bangkok and Malaysian SMR20 closed at `.73.60 a kg. On
