“The cement plant near Bisra has remained closed for over two years. As a result of which the livelihood of thousands of employees and labourers has largely been affected. This time, we have staged a peaceful strike. But, the agitation will be intensified in the days to come, if the district administration fails to immediately reopen the cement plant”, one of the agitators said.
