News Topical, Digital Desk : Following violent clashes, riots, vandalism and arson, a 10-member delegation from the opposition Samajwadi Party, led by the Leader of the Opposition, will meet the workers on April 17.
Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has instructed the delegation to listen to the plight of the workers and raise their issues. The delegation will also speak to the families of the victims of the lathi charge.
The delegation will include Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey along with District President Sudhir Bhati, Metropolitan President Aashray Gupta, former Minister Shahid Manzoor, Kamal Akhtar, MLA Atul Pradhan, Pankaj Kumar Malik, former MLC Shashank Yadav, party's national spokesperson Rajkumar Bhati and former candidate from Noida Assembly constituency Sunil Chaudhary.
Sometimes even weekly leave is not given
State President Shyam Lal Pal says that in Noida, workers are being paid between 10,000 and 11,000 rupees and are being made to work for 10-12 hours. Often, they are not even given weekly holidays.
For several months, hundreds of workers had been demanding wage increases and overtime for extra work. They were peacefully protesting outside the Madrasan Company in Phase 2, demanding a pay raise, but the local administration and police resorted to lathi-charge to forcibly end the protest.
