Sahni said that the former sarpanch of the area, Hukam Singh, told him that the poor and helpless people of the area have not been given compensation despite the company authorizing the land.
Manish Sahni alleged that employees also some mobile recording in which some high officials of the company are threatening labours to join a union with the name of even the Honorable Lt. Governor.
Sahni assured the people present that he will plead with the higher officials of police and administration to look into the matter and do something for the labours. |
