Kolkata, April 11

Hindustan Motors today declared `suspension of work' at its Uttarpara plant following complete blockade of ingress and egress of materials, according to a company release. "The law and order situation at Uttarpara continues to be disconcerting. As a result, the management was constrained to declare suspension of work," the release said. Meanwhile, Mr Amitava Bhattacharyya, President, Sangrami Shramik Karmachari Union (SSKU), one of the five registered trade unions, said that the management had put up a notice at the factory gate declaring suspension of work. "This only strengthens our strike. The management was bringing outsiders who were not employees of Hindustan Motors. We prevented the entry of these outsiders into the factory premises," Mr Bhattacharyya said. Earlier, Ms Soni Shrivastav, General Manager, Corporate Communication, C.K. Birla Group, said: "If the blockade of material continues, it will threaten the very existence of the (Uttarpara) unit."
