PM is “very much worried” about the violence, the Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “very much worried” about the violence at the iPhone making factory of Wistron near Bengaluru, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa said today.
Hundreds of workers vandalized Taiwan-based Apple supplier Wistron’s facility in Kolar near Bengaluru over the weekend, looting iPhones and laptops and causing damage worth $7 million.
“We have taken action. It is a very important foreign company and this should not have happened. The PM is also very much worried about this development,” Mr Yediyurappa told reporters.
“We have instructed that such things will not be repeated. We will give full support to that company, without any problem let them continue production,” he said.
The workers went on the rampage at the factory on Saturday, demanding unpaid wages and better working hours. Videos showed people armed with rods and sticks smashing equipment and vandalising cars.
