Action against factory owners sought
Panipat, October 30 Condemning the action in which union leaders P.P. Kapoor, Jai Bhagwan and labourers of pit loom industry were beaten up, Mr R.C. Jagga, secretary of the Sarv Karamchari Sangh, a state-level government employees organisation cautioned the state government to learn from the Gurgaon episode before taking a stance in favour of industrialists. Talking to the media at PWD Rest House here, he alleged that the police was working in connivance with the pit loom factory owners to muzzle workers. He said that the police was shielding the erring. He said that the sangh would support the agitating workers. Mr Jagga termed the manhandling of The Tribune correspondent as unfortunate and criticised the role of the police where factory owners without provocation beat the two persons outside the police station. A member of the National Committee of the IFTU, Dr Aparna criticised the district administration for converting the labour problem into the law and order problem. Coming heavily on the police and the administration, she said that the two injured leaders were forced to sit in the police station for more than five hours and no first aid was provided to them. Demanding suspension of all cops of the Model Town Police Station, she alleged that, Ram Phal SHO of Chandi Bagh Police Station threatened Kapoor to ready a compromise with the factory owners. Mr Kapoor also alleged that Ram Phal allegedly snatched his mobile phone and did not let him talk to anybody. |
