In a welcome decision, the Uttarakhand High Court has issued stay on 8th December 2016 on the shut down  of the HMT Unit at Ranibagh. HMT Kamgar Sangh has filed the case against the decision of the central government to close the watch making HMT. The HC has given six weeks time to the Government and the Labour Ministry to file the counter-affidavit.

This is a temporary victory for the workers against the anti-PSU, anti-worker decision of the government.
