A large number of contract workers sat on a dharna near the mini-secretariat here on Monday in protest against the two-wheeler company Hero Motocorp’s decision to "dismiss" them without "prior notice". Sikander, one of the protesting workers, said that more than a thousand contract workers were "verbally" told to “proceed on leave” over the past two months citing slowdown due to demonetisation. "Now, many workers have got calls from the management asking them to get their dues settled. It means we have been dismissed," he said.
