Member of Parliament meets Steel Minister Kumaraswamy on reinstatement of contract workers at Vizag Steel Plant
During the meeting, he pointed out that the contract workers who contributed significantly to the plant's development and possess strong service records need to be reinstated. He emphasized the importance of regularizing these employees to ensure the plant's smooth functioning.
Further, the MP proposed that the Kendriya Vidyalaya presently operating within the plant premises be transferred under the Ministry of Education. This, he explained, would provide students with more stable and quality educational facilities.
Mr. Sribharat also recommended implementing a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) for the staff of Vimal Vidyalayam, functioning within the plant area, to provide them with financial security.
Highlighting concerns of the workforce, Mr. Sribharat stressed the urgent need for full-time employee recruitment at the steel plant. He pointed out that proper staffing would facilitate effective promotions, enhance production capacity, and ensure steady availability of raw materials. These strategic improvements would greatly benefit the plant's overall performance, he said.
Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy acknowledged the proposals favorably and assured that the Ministry would undertake necessary measures. He said that the Ministry is committed to addressing these concerns promptly and constructively.
