Revolts against the textile machinery implementation
Today, 18 of January some workers of the local textile factories are starting some revolts.
They are protesting against the implementation of the new machinery in the factories because, as they say, they are taking their job, and now only few workers are actually working in the factory and they wont afford to feed their families.
Their way of protesting against this event is by destroying this machinery. The governments response was implementing a death-penalty law in order to stop this revolts. Also, they have already been some confrontations between the British army and the revels trying to stop this new movement.
