Kin of deceased BSL employees on fast unto death protest

| Saturday | 23rd February, 2019

Jafar said “BSL management neither pays heed to our demands nor allows us to meet the CEO for a direct conversation.” The BSL management is intentionally doing this to ignore us,” Jafar said.Members of BMKAS have been frequently staging demonstrations. They were later released with assurance of negotiations with BSL management. Bokaro: Members of Bokaro Mrit Karmachari Aashit Sangh (BMKAS) are on fast unto death outside the administrative building of Bokaro Steel Plant here for the last five days, to press for their demands including employment for the kin of deceased BSL workers.Police said the agitating families of deceased employees, including elderly women, have been blocking a portion of a road under the City police station. Health condition of three of the agitators deteriorated, since the protest began on Tuesday, and they had to be admitted to a hospital.Another agitator, S Jafar, said even though BSL provided apprentice training to dependants of the deceased employees, they haven’t offered employment to any of them yet.

Bokaro: Members of Bokaro Mrit Karmachari Aashit Sangh (BMKAS) are on fast unto death outside the administrative building of Bokaro Steel Plant here for the last five days, to press for their demands including employment for the kin of deceased BSL workers.Police said the agitating families of deceased employees, including elderly women, have been blocking a portion of a road under the City police station. Personnel from the local police station and BSL security team have been deployed to keep the situation under control.A section of the protesters said the management of BSL is yet to provide jobs to dependants of the employees who died on duty at the plant. “Around 990 dependants are waiting for jobs since 1995, but BSL management remained indifferent towards us and failed to offer jobs despite proving apprentice training for 2-3 years,” Sunny Kumar, one of the protesters said.“We have decided to continue our hunger strike till our demands are met,” he added.BSL’s chief of communications, Mani Kant Dhan, refused to comment on the issue.Efforts by the district officials to pacify the protesters went in vain. Health condition of three of the agitators deteriorated, since the protest began on Tuesday, and they had to be admitted to a hospital.Another agitator, S Jafar, said even though BSL provided apprentice training to dependants of the deceased employees, they haven’t offered employment to any of them yet. “Whenever they advertise about a vacancy they set an age limit of 28, disqualifying dependants who crossed the age bar waiting in hope of getting a job after training. The BSL management is intentionally doing this to ignore us,” Jafar said.Members of BMKAS have been frequently staging demonstrations. Earlier in January, several demonstrators were detained and taken to Camp Jail at Mangalam Stadium. They were later released with assurance of negotiations with BSL management. Jafar said “BSL management neither pays heed to our demands nor allows us to meet the CEO for a direct conversation.”
