Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) workers have embarked on an unusual protest, marking their discontent over what they claim is the company's neglect. The protesters have maintained their work routines but have eschewed uniforms, some working in undergarments and others seemingly without clothes. MGL has been supplying Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) services for around 26-27 years, spanning across major cities in Maharashtra, including Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and several others.
The company, a joint venture between GAIL, the Government of India, and Maharashtra government, serves a wide range of clientele from public transport to commercial and industrial sectors. Workers have been providing emergency services for over two decades, yet they allege that the management has not addressed their demands, nor responded to their correspondences over the past two to three months.
They also claim that uniforms have been lacking for nearly two years. The protest is set to continue unless their grievances are addressed. The workers have threatened a potential strike, warning that it could disrupt CNG supplies and inconvenience large numbers of consumers. The workers hold the company management solely responsible for any such disruption.
