Indian Oil Refinery Employees Continue Hunger Strike, Plan March to Delhi Headquarters
Five members of the Indian Oil Refinery Employees Union (IPREU), including their president, have been on an indefinite hunger strike for four days near the Panipat refinery, demanding fulfillment of long-standing issues such as reinstating backlog vacancies, honoring promotion policies, improving healthcare services, and addressing township concerns. After unsuccessful talks with refinery administration, the union plans to march to the Indian Oil Corporation's Refinery Headquarters in Delhi on July 22 to press their demands before higher authorities, with around 150 to 200 employees expected to participate.
