They were raising slogans against the Labour Minister , Labour Commissioner and the local district head of the department for ignoring the plight of the labour class facing exploitation at the hands of the management of the unit holders, especially from outside.
They pointed out that many unit holders who have invested here just to take benefits of the incentives from State Government thrown away workers at any time. The worker class is harassed and victimized and unions take up the issue with the Labour Department officials but they hardly act and come to the rescue of poor workers.
