Maruti workers defy HC order, protest within 100 metres
The labour agitation at the Maruti plant in Manesar has intensified in its day 8 on Friday as workers have defied the Punjab and Haryana High Court order by protesting within 100 metres of the plant.


The Punjab and Haryana High Court had asked the workers to keep their protest 100 metres away from the plant.


Police sources say workers who have been protesting inside will have to vacate the premises. The police are trying to cripple the agitation by preventing the supply of food and water to protesters.


The Employees union is adamant and said that the strike will continue even if police resort to action.


Trade unions also joined the protests on Thursday and the dharna will continue till October 17. Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki has decided to suspend production at its Gurgaon plant for the next 48 hours.


Chairman RC Bhargava has refused to cede to the demands, warning more workers will be dismissed.
