MSEZ PDF job seekers to go on hunger stir

Addressing a press conference, R N Shetty Kalavaru, who is representing the affected people, who were given training at KPT, said that the MSEZ officials have cheated PDF families by not providing job to them in MRPL and ONGC.

“The MSEZ officials had promised during the land acquisition that those who complete the training will be absorbed either in MRPL or ONGC immediately. All the 186 PDF family members have already completed the training. However, jobs were not provided to them so far as promised even after three years,” he alleged.

Officials had informed in the meeting held in Bangalore on January 29 that jobs will be provided to 186 candidates through a Trust, which will be formed comprising people’s representatives, job seekers, officials of MSEZ and MRPL, he said. “We will not accept the offer, if they are going to provide jobs under the Trust or any other contractors.

Let them provide job to all job seekers either in MRPL or in ONGC,” he urged.
