Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Tuesday said operations were normal in all its
subsidiaries as one of the central trade unions observed a protest
demonstration on Monday against the Centre's move to allow commercial
mining.
The four central trade unions -- CITU, BMS, HMS and AITUC
-- had served a joint strike notice on March 14 but subsequently, they
withdrew the strike which was scheduled for Monday. CITU was the lone
union to head off and called for a protest day against the commercial
mining.
"To ensure no loss to production and off-take Coal India
management made elaborate arrangements and a multi-pronged plan was put
into action at all mines of CIL," the miner said in a statement.
According
to it, all the subsidiary companies of the miner geared up by setting
up videography and photography arrangements at mine level to identify
the persons taking part in the strike.
"The arrangements were so
elaborate that the operations in all the subsidiaries of CIL were normal
on Monday except for few stray incidents where protesters tried to sit
on dharna but it did not succeed and no adverse effect on production
related activities was reported anywhere," the coal behemoth said.
In
a bid to ward off the strike, Union Minister of Railways and Coal,
Piyush Goyal had invited the four trade unions BMS, HMS, AITUC and CITU
for a meeting in Mumbai where their apprehensions were sought to be
"dispelled in a proper perspective".
Subsequently, the next round
of meeting was held with Secretary (Coal) as a result of which the four
trade unions agreed to call off the strike in principle, the miner
said.
In fact, BMS and HMS inked their pact to steer clear-off
the strike. Though AITUC did not formalise their consent through
signature, nevertheless they agreed to back off.
