Maruti Suzuki may halt production of vehicles at its main plant at Gurgaon as it rolled out only a third of its daily output of 2,800 units on the fifth day of the strike on Tuesday.

The company has been hit not only by strike of its workers at the Manesar plant but also by shortage of parts from Suzuki Powertrain India. Labourers are on stir there as well in support of their colleagues at Maruti Suzuki India.

Notice slapped

Meanwhile, the Haryana Labour department has slapped a notice on workers for “breach of settlement” that was signed on October 1 to end the 33-day-long impasse, asking them to respond within next 48 hours.
