The company has termed the strike “illegal” and the company had stopped production 10 days ago at its Lawrence Road unit in Delhi. However, the strike has had a very small impact on the overall business operations.

The contract workers had blocked the entry of permanent employees into the factory, forcing the company to stop operations.
