Some workers at Bajaj Auto's Waluj manufacturing plant are seeking suspension of operations after 400 employees at the facility have tested positive for COVID-19, as per a union leader.

"We are demanding that due to increased number of COVID-19 cases, work should be suspended for few days to break this cycle of transmission of disease. We are just seeking temporary suspension of work for few days," Bajaj Auto Workers' Union President Thengade Bajirao told PTI when contacted over the matter.

A mail sent to Bajaj Auto regarding the issue remained unanswered.
