Mundra, Aug 25 :
At Jindal Saw Ltd. near Samaghogha, around 600 workers were denied entry on Monday morning, sparking protests. Workers alleged they were suddenly terminated without notice, leaving many locals and migrants from Bihar and UP jobless after years of service. BJP taluka general secretary and Bhujpur deputy sarpanch Manek Gilva said the company clarified that the plant has been shut for over two months and contractors failed to inform workers. Officials assured that jobs are not permanently lost — once production resumes, the same workers will be rehired with seniority.
