Maruti Suzuki on July 21 had announced a lockout at its plant at Maneswar after a senior official of Maruti Suzuki India (MSI) was killed and 100 others were injured in the violence and arson that erupted on July 18.

Hooda said the Maruti management was happy with the steps taken by the government,including the formation of a special investigating team.

“Maruti had already said it was not going away from Haryana,” Hooda said.
