Brutal Suppression: Workers’ Struggle in NCR Industrial Belt

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has condemned the harsh treatment of factory workers in the Delhi-NCR industrial belt by BJP-led governments. The party criticizes the use of force against workers protesting for improved wages and conditions, and calls for discussions to resolve the unrest.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has condemned the severe crackdown on agitating factory workers in the Delhi-NCR industrial belt, accusing BJP-run administrations in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh of using excessive force rather than addressing core workers’ demands.

In its statement, CPI(M) described the protests as a prolonged struggle for wage increases and implementation of statutory benefits. Instead of addressing these concerns, police action was escalated, with false cases reportedly filed against workers' leaders.

The unrest, labeled by CPI(M) as indicative of a broader dissatisfaction, highlights severe working conditions and stagnant wages, urging a cessation of oppressive responses and a call for dialogue to meet workers' legitimate demands.
