Bangalore Mob, Riots & Provident Funds Chaos

Dear Friends, The outer ring road of Bangalore is housing small scale industries and garment industries in huge number. Peenya Industrial Area in Tumkur Road is regarded as biggest Asian Hub for small scale industries. The workers in these garment industries lack basic facilities and often commute in goods-carriers to work and home. This Huge population which has migrated from various parts of state of Karnataka and even neighboring states in search of two times meal a day are in FIX for many reasons.

If you commute in Jalhalli Cross and Peenya-Yeshwantpur corridor in evening peak hour traffic you can witness the HUGE-Population of unorganized workers residing and commuting in this locality.

The other corridor of Hosur Road witnessed Mob trying to torch Police station to avenge the Lathi-Charge faced by women on 18th April 2016. This also led to police opening fire and two innocent people getting injured.Latest news read on



According to various workers & labor association leaders, all these employees are under UNORGANIZED sector of workers burgeoning in outskirts of Bangalore aka Bengaluru city. The last two days Rioting and Chaos witnessed by Bengaluru is amalgamation of restlessness filled among these workers particularly WOMEN labourers of garment sector.
According to one of the Workers Leader, who participated in TV9 (channel) live-show, these labourers are paid less than HALF DOLLAR salary a day while counterparts in CHINA and other countries have a better package. Though the central Govt. decision to stall payment of Employers share in Provident Fund until retirement age was the trigger point for this FIGHT! overall the living conditions of these workers in SALARY-DISPARITY METRO SOCIETY has to be blamed first. 

The other angle given by few media persons is that Employers running these garments triggered the riots by spreading rumors of UNFAIR-PROVIDENT SCHEME, as they had to pay huge sum of Rupees as Employer's Contribution under the newly formulated policy.

The Union Govt. which makes hasty one sided decisions in many issues like Pornography BAN on net to New Provident  scheme and withdrawing it hastily shows they lack planning and are unable to foresee the repercussions.

The state Govt. has to be blamed for poor handling of the mob particularly mishandling women workers, who form the major chunk of Garment Industry Laborers.

Finally paramilitary forces have been deployed to control any further untoward incidences. "AACH Din ABHI AANA HAIN"!
