Proposed stadium on KSIC Filature Factory land: Deadline of Mar. 15 to scrap stadium plan – Star of Mysore

Mysore/Mysuru: Leaders of varied organisations that supported the fortnight-lengthy strike by staff of the Mysore Silk Filature Factory, run by the Karnataka Silk Industries Company (KSIC), have set a Mar. 15 deadline for the State Authorities to withdraw its proposal to assemble a stadium throughout the manufacturing facility premises.

The strike had introduced operations to a standstill on the thread extraction unit in T. Narasipur and in addition affected silk weaving items in Mysuru and Channapatna.

The protest was withdrawn after authorities assured the employees that another website could be recognized for the stadium and that the Filature Factory wouldn’t be disturbed. Following the reassurance, the workers resumed work.

At a gathering held on Friday, leaders of the supporting organisations handed a number of resolutions. They warned that if the Authorities fails to formally withdraw the stadium proposal by Mar. 15, environmental teams, farmers’ associations, Dalit organisations, Kannada advocacy teams and progressive organisations will unite to launch an intensified agitation.

In accordance to Parashuramegowda, Common Secretary of the ‘Parisarakkagi Naavu’ organisation, the reassurance given by Dr. Yathindra Siddaramaiah to rethink the stadium proposal primarily based on a technical report was welcomed.

“Trusting the assurances of Dr. Yathindra and the KSIC Managing Director, the employees have returned to obligation,” he stated. Nevertheless, he added that till the Authorities formally withdraws the stadium plan, the employees will proceed their protest by carrying black armbands and refusing to work time beyond regulation. Organisations that supported the employees’ strike stated, they are going to proceed to exert strain on the Authorities by varied kinds of protest.

Amongst these current on the assembly had been Hosakote Basavaraju, Alagoodu Shivakumar, Kiragasuru Shankar and several other different leaders, together with Prasad Nayak, Jeevanuru Vijayendra, Yogesh, Mahesh, Mahadevaswamy, Karohatti Kumaraswamy, Boodalli Shankar, Shanthakumar Kothegal, Raju, Mahadev and representatives of ‘Parisarakkagi Naavu’ comparable to Banu Prashanth, Gantaiah, Vishwanath and Sindhuvalli Akbar.
