HM car plant workers

On the assurance given by the Tiruvallur District Collector that their issue would be sorted out in the coming week, the retrenched workers of Hindustan Motors/Hindustan Motor Finance Corporation Ltd and their family members wound up their indefinite sit-in protest at the collectorate on Friday late night, a worker said.

They began their protest on Friday morning demanding back their land or a job in PCA Automobiles India Private Ltd. Car maker PCA Automobiles located in Tiruvallur is a joint venture between global automotive manufacturer Stellantis Group and India's CK Birla group.

"The Collector spoke to CPI's Tamil Nadu unit Secretary R Mutharasan and assured him that the matter will be sorted out on Monday and requested the protest be called off," E Srinivasan, Secretary of the Hindustan Motors Land Giving Farmers Progressive Association said.

"We have called off the protest for now. If the matter is not resolved then we will restart our protest," H Ismail, one of the retrenched workers whose grandfather's land was acquired by Hindustan Motors in 1968, said.
