Plea to protect interests of 2,000 workers
Several parties, including YSRCP, CPI, Jana Sena Party and several trade unions, have urged the government to take steps for reopening the Nellimarla jute factory immediately.
The management announced a lock-down a week ago owing to drop in production and demand for jute products in the national market. The lock-down shocked nearly 2,000 workers of Nellimarla and other parts of the district.
YSR Congress Party MLC Penumatsa Suresh Babu urged District Collector M. Hari Jawaharlal to take initiative to hold a meeting between management and workers since lock-down would lead to denial of livelihood for many poor families.
