Labour problem caused no production at Angus Jute Mill at Bhadreswar in Hooghly district today, a high official of the mill said.
The management decided not to allow two daily wage labourers to work because of indiscipline and following this other workers too did not attend their duties, the official said.
Deputy Labour Commissioner, Chandarnagar, Tirthankar Sengupta said he did not receive any suspension of work notice from Angus Jute Mill.
Earlier, the management had decided that 54 daily labourers would not be allowed to work as demand was less, Chandarnagar SDO Piyush Pandey said.
Following a meeting with the Deputy Labour Commissioner on December 7, the management agreed to allow 52 of them to work but not the remaining two alleging they were indisciplined.
These two were not allowed to work today, following which others too preferred not to join duties.
