Prof Manna, It makes no sense that high performing workers be replaced or a few rehired at lower salaries by a new contractor. These workers are human beings and should be treated as such if you want to high morale among the workers. IITK must ensure that the workers be not fired with change in contractors. This is the right thing to do, and I hope you will have courage to do it.

Sir,
I request you to please investigate this situation and reverse the decision of the new contractor so that all 72 of these laid off workers’ contracts are reinstated with the new contractors and in accordance with and in the spirit and intent of the current Indian labour laws on contract workers.

After showing the world that IITK is concerned about and often manages the payment of minimum wages to workers, why are we regressing so much.

IITK is stooping so low in matters of taking away Bread of the lowly paid, highly skilled but exploited 72 workers of the Visitors' Hostel. It does not require to go for a great project to understand that bigwigs of IITK are involved in earning corrupt money through this route.
