In what appears to be a determined attempt to intimidate workers’ mobilisations, the local Delhi government has once again set its police forces onto demonstrating workers. This week, around 1,000 workers from different sectors and unions went to the offices of the Labour Minister to demand an end to contract based employment. Instead of meeting them, a large contingent of police charged the workers, injuring many and arresting 17 of them. Workers have vowed not to be intimidated by this violence from the state.
