ISN Bureau, Kanksa: In view of the Panchayat elections in the state on Saturday , the factory owners of Panagarh Industrial Taluk have announced a holiday with pay for all the workers of Panchayat Industrial Taluk to facilitate voting in the Panchayat Elections.
According to Ramu Lohar, a local worker who had queued up in front of the polling booth, “there are thousands of localites working in the various factories in the Panagarh Industrial Taluk. We were excited to cast our votes and are happy that we have been allowed a day off for exercising their democratic rights”.
The scenery therefore, is quite unusual as compared to other days with the chimneys not puffing out any smoke, no hustle bustle of machineries, no shouting of workers and no factory vehicles striding the road. In fact our correspondent could not tap any factory official for comment as the factories were closed down completely.
