  • Karnakata Government and Department of Labour played key role in resolving the issue.
  • The plant has a total of 3,350 employee workforce.
TKM has made a final appeal to all the other members to return to work by March 5 and ensure synergies based on mutual trust for the future and to respect the terms of their mutual understanding, claims the automaker.
