Official says company will re-open in a phased manner
After years of struggle and uncertainty, it was a huge relief for the employees of Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL), who received ₹10,000 in their bank account for the first time after the State government bought the company shares from the Central government. The amount, which was deposited in their bank account on the day of Onam, gave hope for 142 employees, who are feeling dejected over the delay in re-starting the company and paying salary arrears, which has been pending for 36 months now. However, a senior employee in the production department said the relief amount was less compared with what was given last year by the company to the employee before the takeover when they received ₹15,000.More Related News
