Gandhi backs thermal plant workers, holds stir

Patiala, July 22
Skipping the first day of the monsoon session of Parliament, MP Dr Dharamvira Gandhi today sat on a dharna with the workers of the Rajpura Thermal Power Plant to get justice for 11 workers of the plant who have been transferred to Odisha by the contractor.
This dharna was attended by more than 500 people of the area, who expressed solidarity with the workers.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Gandhi said no one had the right to harass the workers and negotiated on behalf of the workers’ union with the management of the plant, Larsen & Toubro, which assured the delegation that they were working on several options to save the interest of the workers.
Speaking to the workers after the meeting, Dr Gandhi cautioned them to keep a watch on intruders, who could dislodge their struggle by sabotaging the movement. He also promised to take up the workers’ issue with the Larsen & Toubro Management in New Delhi.
