Around 1,200 workers of Lal Imli textile mill have decided not to celebrate Holi this year alleging that they have not received salaries for the last eight months.
Lal Imli textile mill workers' union president B M Tripathi said that around 1,200 workers of the mill and 500 workers of sister concern Dhariwal company have not received salaries for the last eight months.
"It has become difficult for us to run our families. Hence workers have decided not to celebrate Holi this year," he said.
