Labour unrest continues in Haryana over the death of an auto company worker |
Thousands of workers belonging to around two-dozen mid-size and
small auto component units on Tuesday staged a protest in Gurgaon over the killing
of an auto worker at Gurgaon-based Rico Auto. Various auto component companies
in Gurgaon-Manesar region also observed a day-long strike to protest against the
killing. Thousands of workers from 60-odd companies of the region have joined
the strike. Ajit Yadav, a worker of the auto ancillary supplier, Rico, in Gurgaon,
died in a clash between striking factory workers and those who wanted to get back
to work on Sunday. Protestors demanded arrest of culprits and compensation for
the family of the deceased. "The day before yesterday, police and some miscreants
attacked us in which Ajit Yadav killed. Now, we demand that the culprits should
be arrested. We also demand compensation for the family of the deceased," said
Prem Kumar, a protestor. Meanwhile, hundreds of security personnel were deployed
around the Rico Company to prevent outbreak out of any untoward incident. Members
of the All India Trade Union Congress threatened to extend the strike to factories
all across the Gurgaon-Manesar industrial belt, unless strict and early action
is taken against those responsible for the death and injuries to the company employees. |
