Shivdi: The issues of NTC mill workers will be placed before the central government in November, Maharashtra Legislative Council deputy chairman Sachin Ahir has promised.
Speaking at a workers' Dussehra rally, Ahir said he would certainly use his position to resolve workers' problems. The matter concerns the country's closed NTC mills, and the government's attention must be drawn to it, he said.
The 79th anniversary celebration and Dussehra conference of the Rashtriya Mill Mazdoor Sangh and the Maharashtra Rajya Rashtriya Kamgar Sangh was held on Monday (19 October), on the eve of Vijayadashami, at Manohar Mama Phalke Sabhagriha. Ahir was the chief guide at the event.
General secretary Govindrao Mohite recounted the union's past anniversaries at the start. Union vice-president Sunil Borkar gave information on the starvation of NTC workers.
Attention now turns to the meeting before the Centre in November.
