LABOUR Report from Dalli-Rajhara

LABOUR Report from Dalli-Rajhara FOR the last two years a serious problem faced by the Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) is the breakdown of the iron, dolomite and quartzite mines Under BSP's jurisdiction. The majority of the workers in these mines are employed under contractors who pay meagre salaries and provide no other benefits. This suits the BSP management, for not merely is it assured of cheap labour, but it is also freed of its obligation to provide facilities to which labour would have been entitled had it been regularly employed by the BSP.
