The indefinite strike by the employees of Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. (BEML), a profit-making mini Ratna public sector company, in protest against the Union government move to privatise the company turned a year on Thursday.
It was on January 6 last year that hundreds of BEML employees started their agitation against the government move to disinvest 26% shares.
CITU national secretary Chandran Pillai inaugurated the anniversary dharna in front of BEML unit at Kanjikode, near here, on Thursday evening. Mr. Pillai also inaugurated a ‘candle light protest’ in front of the company. CITU district president P.K. Sasi presided over the function.
