"We had a fruitful discussion with minister Piyush Goyal on March 14. Today, we have met chairman and management of the company. We have raised several issues including payment of contractor workers and secured a signed minutes. In view of the positive approach, we deferred the proposed one day strike on March 29," said Indian National Mine Workers' Federation secretary general S.Q. Zama.
