BMS Seeks Odisha CM's Intervention Over Retrenchment of 15,000 Contract Workers
The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), affiliated with the RSS, has urged Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi to intervene following the retrenchment of over 15,000 contract and outsourced workers, mainly in power and industrial sectors. Despite talks with Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo on May 24, no resolution was reached. BMS warns that layoffs risk industrial unrest and power disruptions, demanding an immediate halt to retrenchments, reinstatement of workers, and a high-level tripartite meeting under the CM's chairmanship.
