Jute mill suspended in Hooghly due to labor-management dispute

Bhadreshwar Shyamnagar North Jute Mill in hoogly faced a temporary shutdown as a notice of work suspension was posted after workers resisted management's directive to operate Chinese machinery from six sides. The dispute escalated after workers, dissatisfied with the terms, halted operations, leading to the closure despite attempts by local officials to mediate.

The conflict arose when management insisted on operating Chinese machinery from six sides, a demand opposed by workers. Despite efforts by Bhadreshwar's Mayor to resume operations and discussions, the situation deteriorated, leading to a temporary closure. With approximately four thousand workers losing their jobs, tensions escalated as labor representatives accused the BJP and RCPM of orchestrating the mill's closure, while the Mayor expressed willingness to facilitate dialogue for reopening the mill.
