Reacting to the nation wide Trade Union strike, Union Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Tuesday that the Government has taken the demands of the protesters into consideration.
"We tried to explain the situation to the trade union people. We heard their demands regarding wage, bonus among other things. The Government's scheme will be formula driven but we have taken the demands into consideration," Pradhan told the media here.
