Parl panel discusses HEC revival with workers groups

1 2 Ranchi: Even as representatives of employees and officers on Tuesday discussed ways to revive Heavy Engineering Corporation (HEC) in a meeting in Delhi, a large number of casual workers staged a demonstration in front of the corporation in Ranchi to protest the withdrawal of their service facilities. Source said that the department related standing committee on industries had called the meeting with HEC representatives to know their views on whether the corporation should be revived or not and also about their demands. The committee also wanted an assurance from officers and the employees that in case of revival they should make dedicated effort to manufacture quality products. The representatives expressed views in favour of revival saying that they are ready to give 100 per cent in the process, adding that they would postpone their minor service related demands. While protesting in front of HEC dozens of casual workers alleged that the new contractor is not ready to provide the facilities available to them in the company earlier. Lal Vikas Nath Shadeo who led the protest said, "The new contractor would give only daily wages with no Sundays, gazette holidays and others facilities like dearness allowance and provident fund." The casual workers plan to stage a protest on Wednesday as well. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!
