Chowgule mining company on Monday issued retrenchment notices to 145 workers deployed at Pali mines.
The workers included 50 unskilled labour, 27 attendants, 32 driver mechanics, 8 clerks and 28 operators.
The company stated in a notice that it could not handle the labour as all mining leases have been cancelled due to the mining ban.
Copies of this notice have also been forwarded to the concerned department of central and state government.
The sudden retrenchment has triggered fear among the worker as their survival is threatened.
When contacted, deputy speaker Dr Pramod Sawant said he had already discussed this issue on all the levels.
“I am trying my best to resolve this issue with government and on Central level in order to give justice to the affected workers,” Dr Pramod Sawant said.
