Ruckus at petrol pump over ‘layoffs'
1 2 Kolkata: The alleged sacking of some employees from a petrol pump by the facility's owner at Phoolbagan last month led to a ruckus on Tuesday afternoon. A local office-bearer of the TMC-affiliated labour union, Kavita Gupta, was accused of barging into the petrol pump with its former employees, who were removed from their jobs, and assaulting Sumana Das Roy, the owner. The former staffers allegedly misbehaved with Roy's daughter. When the pump employees intervened, the accused INTTUC leader and her group allegedly attacked them as well. Declining any wrongdoing, Gupta claimed she only protested against derogatory remarks made by Roy. Both parties filed written complaints at the Phoolbagan Police Station. In June, these employees had staged a protest with several demands, leading to 14 of them allegedly leaving their jobs. The employees, though, claimed that they were sacked. Police said some demands, including hike in salaries, were met, but the employees did not withdraw their protest as their PF was not being paid. The PF dispute lead to a case at the high court, cops added. The owner apparently hired new employees. Gupta claimed the removal of old staffers was unjust. Probe is on. Cops have detained three.

'These aids are humanitarian and prevent a serious crisis, but they cannot in any way be considered as a fundamental solution to Afghanistan's economic problems," he economic expert, Sayed Masood, shares a similar perspective, but with a different emphasis. He believes that Afghanistan's crisis is not primarily economic but rather political. 'We have the facts and elements necessary to grow and organise the economy," he said. 'In reality, Afghanistan's crisis is a political one, especially with the current global and regional engagement, which is preventing developmental projects from moving forward." The Ministry of Economy also considers the continuation of aid from international relief organisations to be beneficial to the country under current Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy, said: 'Humanitarian aid is a serious and essential need under the current circumstances, particularly with the return of migrants from neighbouring countries. Therefore, our request is that international aid organisations and the global community continue their humanitarian and emergency assistance to the people of Afghanistan."Previously, the United Nations had requested over two billion dollars to provide aid to approximately 23 million people in Afghanistan.
