On Tuesday, April 20, Kodingamali bauxite mine workers reportedly called off their protest after 83 days of staging dharna in front of Collector’s Office demanding proper wages as per the labour norms.

As the report stated, the members of Kodingamali Mine Workers Association submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik through Collector Mohd Abdaal Akhtar upon being disappointed with the unconcerned approach of Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) and Mythri Infra Ltd.
The Kodingamali Mine Workers Association consists of workers involved in different capacities at Kodingamali bauxite mines near Laxmipur in Koraput. Association leader Raju Kuldip alleged that since the day the association started demanding minimum wage and welfare as per mining rules and act and started unionising workers to press the demand, the company unexpectedly issued transfer notice to 34 workers.
Furthermore, the firm allegedly deleted a few names of the workers who had been protesting from the attendance punching machine and disallowed them to work from December 29, 2020, according to the association leader.
