: Trade unions in the union territory today demanded that the government order a detailed probe into alleged scandalous practices by officials of the three government owned textile mills here, which they said had resulted in hefty losses between 2005 and 2010.
The meeting of the unions was convened by Puducherry Textile Mills Labour Union.
Union secretary V S Abishegam said in a release that the meeting wanted confiscation of properties of these officials of the three mills- Sri Bharathi Mills, Swadeshi Mill and the Anglo French textile mills.
He said the government should not remain a silent spectator but bring them to book after holding a probe into the losses the major undertakings suffered.
The meeting also wanted an integrated Textile Park set up and modernisation of the three mills which had been the main source of livelihood for the workers here, he said.
