During the meeting, many important issues for the welfare of the workers and also that of the plant were discussed. Dr Reddy asked the Steel Plant management to release the increased HRA amount to all the employees which was pending since July 2014, immediately.
Referring to the expected severe water crisis to the Steel Plant, the national president of INTUC asked the Visakha Steel Employees’ Congress leaders and the management to mount pressure on the State government demanding captive iron ore mines and proper water supply to the plant.
