Jharkhand High Court Orders Clearing of Bokaro Steel Plant Blockade
The Jharkhand High Court intervened to address a blockade at Bokaro Steel Plant, where protesters led by MLA Shweta Singh and the Displaced Apprentices Association had blocked all 11 gates, trapping thousands of workers inside.

Following administrative action, the gates were reopened, restoring movement of employees, raw materials, and supplies.
