Casual workers of a textile company in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur district held a demonstration in front of the factory on Wednesday over non-payment of salaries and demanded food for around 200 migrant workers amid the lockdown.
The casual workers held the demonstration before the factory at the Industrial Estate in Bargadwa.
"All the permanent workers got half payment during lockdown, but the casual workers didn't get any help from the textile company," Ajay Mishra, who is a permanent worker, said.
"Most of the workers belong to other districts and many of them are even of Bihar," Mishra said. "We are only demanding some help from the factory for the casual workers so that they could survive during the lockdown."
