A series of gate meetings at various divisions of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., in Bangalore culminated in a militant gherao of the administrative office of the HAL. The workers were agitated seeing the adamant attitude of the HAL management regarding the Charter of Demands of the contract workers. While on one hand the management refused with the contract workers on the Charter of Demands, on the other hand, it continued to try and talk to regular employees association, who had not been authorised by contract workers to speak for them. The workers also staged a ‘Raasta roko’ (block the road) and finally the police had to intervene to avoid law and order problem.
