T.S. Rajamani, a co-ordinator of Save NTC, said the delegation asked  the ministry to clarify its decision regarding operating the NTC mills in the country. The union leaders also sought payment of gratuity and bonus arrears to the workers at the earliest.

He added that the officials had said that a decision on operating the NTC mills will be a policy decision of the government and the demands of the unions will be presented to the government.

Efforts will be taken to pay the wage arrears to the workers by the end of this month and payment of bonus and gratuity arrears will also be decided by the ministry.

Earlier, the Centre has constituted a committee under the NITI Aayog to propose a plan for the NTC mills that have proved to be unviable despite attempts by the government to revive them.  (KNN Bureau)
