Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
A decision on releasing 48 garment employees, who were arrested during the two-day protest against the new provident fund rules last month, will be taken at the State Cabinet meeting scheduled next week. Addressing presspersons here on Friday, Minister of State for Labour P.T. Parameshwar Naik said the State police had arrested garment workers during protests that triggered violent incidents at different places in the city. The police have been investigating the role of the employees in the protest. Those who are innocent and had no role in the violence will be released, he said.
