Workers of Mysore Sugar Company Ltd. (Mysugar), the State-owned sugar mill in town, staged a protest on Thursday demanding pending salary and other benefits.
About 100 employees of different divisions staged a demonstration on the premises of the mill, of whom three scaled the chimney to protest against the management. They raised slogans against Mysugar management for not initiating measures to clear their dues.
According to them, the employees have been working for three months without salary. The mill should provide provident fund, health insurance and other facilities besides regularising the contract labourers, they demanded.
The eight-decade-old mill is registered as a ‘sick industry’ with the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction.
