Maruti Suzuki resumes operation at Manesar plant

21 Aug 2012 Evaluate

The country’s largest passenger carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, has resumed operation at its Manesar plant amid heavy security. Haryana Police has provided 500 personnel, out of which 200 are inside the plant and 300 in areas around the facility. Besides, the company has also formed its own special force numbering 100, which includes ex-service men.

The company declared a lock-out at its Manesar plant facility following the labor violence, which took place on July 18, 2012. 

The plant was closed for more than a month, costing the company tens of millions of dollars in lost output. The company has issued termination of services of 500 regular workers, who were allegedly involved in the July 18 violent incidents which led to the death of a senior MSI executive.

The company is planning to end the process of employing contract labor and start the process of direct hiring. The schedule of recruitment has been communicated to all the existing contract workers through the contract agencies and recruitment would start from September 2.
