Workers at the Sukhmani Group in Mohali have kept their sit‑in outside the plant, while the local tehsildar promised to look into their grievances.
A group of employees from the Sukhmani Group has maintained a peaceful protest outside the company's premises in Mohali, demanding resolution of pending wage and working‑condition issues. The demonstration began earlier this week and has continued into the weekend, with workers setting up a temporary camp and refusing to leave until their concerns are addressed.
Local authorities have been monitoring the situation. The tehsildar of the area visited the protest site on Saturday, spoke with the representatives of the workers, and assured them that the administration will expedite the investigation into their complaints. He also promised to coordinate with the company's management to facilitate a timely settlement.
The Sukhmani Group has not released an official statement yet, but sources indicate that management is in talks with the tehsildar's office. The protest remains non‑violent, and no arrests have been reported. The outcome of the tehsildar's intervention will likely determine whether the workers resume normal duties or extend their sit‑in.
The incident underscores growing labor unrest in the region, where several small‑scale industries have faced similar disputes over wages and safety standards. Officials have urged both parties to engage in dialogue to avoid escalation.
As of now, the protest continues, with the tehsildar's assurances providing a tentative hope for resolution, while workers remain vigilant about their rights.
