Bonus demanding workers arrested from Cement factory in Chhattisgarh

A worker from Ambuja cement in Chhattisgarh says police has arrested workers demanding bonus from the administration. He says according to Bonus law of 1965 if the factory does not give bonus then the owner can be sent to jail for six months but this government is putting workers in jail and helping multinational companies. He says in many factories in industrial areas all over the state the workers are not given bonus, which is illegal. He says the workers will be forced to take further action if the arrested workers are not released soon
