Pradyot Manikya says big companies should employ locals due to use of land

AGARTALA: The Indigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA) Chief

 

">Pradyot Manikya on Wednesday stated that  big plants like IOCL should try to benefit the locals as they are using the land of the people for explorations.

"Big plants should also realize that it's our land which is being used for the larger interest of the country and a little bit of help to our ppl will definitely help", he said.

The royal scion who paid a visit to the IOCL in RK Nagar Agartala, had a meeting with the officials of the company.

 

During the meeting, the Pradyot Manikya demanded the company to initiate more CRS activities as most of the gas and oil exploration take place in the Autonomous District Councils (ADC) areas.

He further stressed on rehabilitation of the people by the companies as well which will benefit them.
