Tension erupted in Motahaldu, Uttarakhand, as private company employees initiated a strike demanding better wages and work conditions. The protest witnessed clashes between the workers and police, with a significant police presence ensuring no major incidents occurred.
Workers allege economic exploitation, with unmet demands for a set eight-hour work shift and adequate wages. Female employees also reported poor treatment, including restrictions on basic needs and abusive language from officials.
Local MLA Mohan Singh Bisht intervened, calling on the company to heed the workers' demands. Talks are ongoing, but resolution remains elusive as police maintain order.
