A few workers, members of CITU, allegedly attacked three high-level officials of Lakhampur-based Everest company yesterday.

The accused were today produced before the court amid heavy police security.

The workers of Everest plant in Dindori tehsil of Nashik district are on an indefinite strike, demanding increase in wages, since November.

A meeting between Deputy Labour Commissioner, Dr Karad, Pandey, and company officials -- general manager K K Rameshan, assistant manager Durga Prasad Tiwari and Senior Manager Pradeep Deshpande -- was held yesterday to work out a solution.

Workers attacked the officials when the meeting got over and they were leaving.

 

CITU today took out a protest march to the office of Collector, maintaining that Dr Karad and Pandey were not involved in the attack.

Nashik Industries and Manufacturing Association and Ambad Industries and Manufacturing Association condemned the incident and sought action against the attackers.
