Chennai : The Tamil Nadu government Wednesday told tyre maker MRF Ltd that it would take over its plant if the company did not reopen the unit in north Chennai within a week.
MRF’s tyre making factory in Tiruvottiyur has been padlocked since December 2007.
The company has accused its employees of “indiscipline and being unable to meet productivity norms”.
“The MRF management should find a solution to the labour problem in its units within a week’s time,” Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veerasamy told the state legislative assembly.
Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi would intervene to find an amicable solution, he said, adding that “if no solution was found even then, the government would take over the unit”.
