Estate Staff Stir Threatens to Stall Township Work
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|April 14, 2025
A day after the state government pulled a surprise by starting work on the Wayanad Township at Elstone Estate in Kalpetta within hours of the Kerala High Court granting permission for land acquisition, the estate employees launched an indefinite strike at the proposed site threatening to stall the construction.
The joint strike by the CITU and INTUC demands immediate disbursal of pending allowances, including pension arrears and medical benefits, to around 300 estate workers.
Though the district administration has called a meeting under the leadership of assistant labour commissioner on Tuesday to discuss the matter, the employees say they will allow construction only after receiving the pending benefits. Elstone Estate has been mired in labour issues for over a decade.
