    Mumbai/Delhi: Over 100 protesters waving banners and shouting slogans marched on government buildings in New Delhi. Some broke through police barricades and burnt an effigy representing Wal-Mart.

    Small shopkeepers fear Wal-Mart’s arrival could put many of the estimated 40 million Indians who depend on the retail sector out of work. “Go back Wal-Mart, Long Live Justice,” protesters shouted, waving placards demanding: “Save Small Retailers”.

    Vice-chairman Michael Duke led the Wal-Mart team that was set to visit a hypermarket in Mumbai and hold talks with government and Bharti officials in New Delhi. —Reuters
