A delegation of various trade unions today urged the Puducherry Chief Minister, Mr N. Rangasamy, to take steps to restore normalcy in Yanam, an enclave of Puducherry in Andhra Pradesh, where a top official of a company was lynched by its workers after a trade union leader allegedly died in police action.
CITU Secretary, Mr V. Perumal, who along with the leaders of AITUC, INTUC and Pattali Labour Union, presented a memorandum to the Chief Minister seeking government’s intervention for restoration of law and order in Yanam.
According to the trade union leaders, the place was in “shambles” after the incident.
Mr Perumal said they have asked the government to sanction a solatium of Rs 25 lakh to the family of Murali Mohan, the trade union leader in Regency Ceramics, who was killed in the police action yesterday.
They have also demanded the government to pay Rs 10 lakh each to the nine persons injured in police firing, he said.
Meanwhile, the Puducherry unit of AIADMK demanded for a judicial probe into the incidents.
Agitated workers of Regency Ceramics went on a rampage yesterday after their leader Murali Mohan was allegedly killed in police action outside the factory and attacked the residence of President (Operations), Mr K.C. Chandrasekhar, resulting in his fatal head injuries.
