Supplier CEO attacked and killed by Labour Force
The Tata Nano, which will be the world's least expensive car, has already exacted enormous sums of money and time. A dispute over the location of a new factory has cost Tata close to a year of court wrangling and might end up spoiling a £200 million investment. Now the efforts to build the Nano have cost a life.
Unhappy workers were invited to a meeting with Indian and Italian executives of Cerlikon-Graziano Transmissions, which makes auto parts, to discuss reinstatement. Only a few workers were in the meeting, but more than a hundred were waiting outside. When those outside heard someone inside call for help, they rushed in, and in a mob fog anger, bludgeoned the company's operations head, Lalit Kishore Choudhary, to death.
It was later reported that some of the folks involved in the melee weren't even employees of the company. What Tata will need to urgently figure out is where it needs to go -- inside or outside of India -- to build the Nano without backlash. In the mean time, our condolences go to the Choudhary family.

* attackers belonged to Labour force, under ministry of labour
* What would the Labour Minister do in this episode?
Instead of running his office, honourable minister for labour was "busy" in his home town!
Message for honourable central minister for labour: instead of meddling with state government affairs, rallying behind Sonia for visit to Udupi/ Mangalore, he should concentrate on the problems in his ministry!
Will the human rights saviours, Teesta Setalwad ever visit the family of this deceased CEO? Will the central team visit Noida? Will the congress team members perform the drama of Fact Finding?
