The management of Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) has decided to temporarily suspend its plant operations in Sriperumbudur from May 25 to May 29. A section of workers walked out of the plant and protested on Monday, seeking closure of the plant amid the intense lockdown and concerns over the spread of COVID-19. However, Hyundai said in a statement that the plant operations were underway as per schedule on Monday. Meanwhile, New Democratic Labour Front (NDLF), a labour union with activities in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry has urged the state government to allow only industries catering to medicines, electricity and food during the intense lockdown and cancel the permission given to other industries like automobiles, auto parts, two-wheeler manufacturing among others.More Related News
