HAZARIBAG: Barkagaon MLA Amba Prasad on Sunday came out in support of 19 villagers from Uruv under Pakri Barwadih coal mining project of NTPC who were arrested on Saturday and brought to Hazaribag court of the chief judicial magistrate. The court, however, refused to grant them bail and sent them to jail. She also briefly protested at the bus in which the villagers were brought to the court.
Calling the arrest illegal, Amba said that villagers were peacefully agitating at Triveni Sainik Company, the main outsourcing company hired by the NTPC, for mining work.
She said, “Workers were agitating since Saturday morning demanding fulfilment of their various demands, including payment of bonus. These workers had served notice to the company three months ago but finding no alternative they sat on a dharna and prevented other workers of the village from joining duty. They were agitating by following Covid-19 protocols.”
