He said the government has been destroying the coal mines hiring private companies which gives rise to the unemployment problem.
The Union leader took on Narendra Modi for interrupting the labour rights which was why, 273 out of 417 coal mines have faced closure.
RCMU general secretary Swapon Roy said the NEC Coal has paralyzed the local economy by closing the underground mining where many workers have been transferred and only 1400 have remained.
The Union leaders said they would sit in stir on December 12 demanding measures for safety and security of the contractual workers deployed in the coal mines.
Altogether 41 working Committees from all over Coal mines of the Country were present where Tapan Sen, Member of Parliament Rajya Sabha and General Secretary of CITU all India Committee were present.
