Porbandar Bandh call by the employees of Saurashtra Chemicals, to protest their retrenchment by the new management of Nirma Group, turned out to be a major success. | |
| Most of the main bazaar areas and educational institutes across the city remained closed, supporting the cause of released employees of Saurashtra Chemicals. |
| |
| However, not a single incident of violence surfaced during the call and employees of Saurashtra Chemicals marched peacefully displaying placards and shouting slogans against Nirma. |
| |
| They also submitted a letter of memorandum to the district collector. |
| |
| The bandh was supported by major political parties of the city and other allied associations including Bharatiya Mazdur Sangh, Saurashtra Chemicals Kamdaar Sangh and Saurashtra Chemicals Employees Union. |
| |
| As the court hearing in this matter is scheduled on Friday, the employees are anticipating positive decision into the matter. |
| |
| The Nirma management has taken stay orders against the Labour Commissioner's order of re-opening the factory and engaging the employees back on work. |
