Tension at Reliance plant, 2 cops injured

Yamunanagar, Feb 22 (UNI) Tension prevailed at the Reliance thermal power plant under construction here following a minor clash between the workers and the police today.

The police was called as the workers at the plant got enraged after three labourers working on a digging site were trapped under a heap of loose soil.

Though the workers were rescued without major injuries, their collegues became upset over the mishap and began raising slogans against the alleged negligence by the management, police said.

The workers were further agitated when the management called police which tried to disperse them. Some of the agitators pelted policemen with stones.

Police reinforcement was called in and the workers were later dispersed by them. Two policemen were injured in the clash.
