TN Govt sacks 1 lakh striking employees

Chennai, July 5
Invoking the amended ESMA provisions, the Tamil Nadu Government today sacked over one lakh striking government employees even as the Madras High Court asked it to withdraw unconditionally all cases of suspensions and dismissals and release the arrested leaders.

Mr Justice P.D. Dinakaran, in an order passed tonight, asked the government to release forthwith all government employees arrested in connection with the strike and report the matter to it at 10.30 a.m. tomorrow.

The Judge passed the order after representatives of seven unions, including the Tamil Nadu Government Employees Union, met him at his residence and gave an undertaking to withdraw their four-day old strike. — PTI
