Tata Steel resumes work at Kalinganagar

Work has resumed on Thursday at Tata Steel's Kalinganagar plant site following an amicable meeting held on Wednesday between the company's senior management and representatives of the workers in the presence of the district administration, a company release said.

Tension had erupted on Monday at Kalinganagar, the site of Tata Steel's upcoming six million tonne steel plant, when 17 people sustained injuries due to clash between workers and the company's security personnel. The contractual workers were agitating against wage payment and other issues. The security forces were forced to open fire.
