Respected sir,
Government Agencies is really solve the problems of employees or mingle with the Management and will give creat problmems.
I think, after globalisation and liberation, The Government is giving more importance to establish the industries in large by inviting the investors and facilitating by giving land, water and other amenities.
In the light of the above, they are not giving more importance to the working class.
Please clarify.
