Tata Motors Pantnagar Plant Hit by Workers' Agitation After Colleague's Death
Confirming the partial loss of production, Tata Motors said the company is extending necessary support to the family.

Production at Tata Motors' Pantnagar manufacturing facility was partially hit yesterday after a section of workers resorted to agitation following the death of one of their colleague in a cardiac arrest on Saturday. The plant in Uttrakhand produces the sub one-tonne mini-truck Tata Ace. Confirming the partial loss of production, Tata Motors said the company is extending necessary support to the family as per its policy and the management is looking into the issue to resolve it amicably.

According to sources, a section of temporary and casual workers assembled at the plant when it opened today after the Sunday holiday, demanding monetary compensation and a job to one one of the members of the deceased worker's family, leading to the disruption in production.

"It is a matter of a personal loss to all of us... In line with the company policy, Tata Motors is extending necessary support to the family in this unfortunate situation," Tata Motors' spokesperson said in a statement. "In light of the above incident caused by natural death, some temporary workers are leading an agitation in the plant premises seeking unreasonable demands from the management. Owing to this, the production line operated by a set of these workers has been affected partially," he added.
