Terrorists have been contained:Chidambaram
Speaking after laying the foundation for a Dr Ambedkar Mani Mandapam (memorial for Ambedkar) here last night, Chidambaram said that security forces have been equipped with modern weapons to control terrorists and there has been a decline in their activities in recent years.
On the indefinite strike by contract workers of state-run Neyveli Lignite Corporation continuing for over a month, Chidambaram told reporters he would hold talks with Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal and Labour Minister Mallikarjun Kharge to find a solution.
The contract workers on strike are demanding regularisation of their services in a phased manner and implementation of 'equal pay for equal work' formula, among other things.
