Contract workers stage protest

The protest was held under the aegis of Kamgar Anyay Pratikar Samiti,an organisation formed to fight injustice against workers.

“We had put forth the same demands on May 1 this year before the Labour Commissioner’s Office along with a request to conduct an inspection in 46 small and medium scale industries in the state,including Pune,regarding the implementation of rules pertaining to contract labourers,” said advocate Santosh Mhaske,Samiti chairman.

He said that a report of the inspection was to be given to the Samiti within two months,but it has not received the report yet.

The Samiti office-bearers handed over a memorandum to deputy labour commissioner,T G Cholke,with the request of completing the inspection by August. “If they fail to do so,we will organise a statewide agitation,” Mhaske said.

Justice (retd) BG Kolsepatil,president Lok Shasan Andolan,Anna Dhumal,Samiti secretary,RV Sharma,president,Pune Mazdoor Sabha,Shivaji Tapkir,president,Pimpri Chinchwad Kamgar Sanghatana and others participated in the agitation.
