With the Andhra Pradesh High Court directing Adani Gangavaram Port Limited (AGPL) to continue its negotiations with the striking employees, the port authorities on May 9 (Thursday) held talks, which, however, remained inconclusive, an official released said.
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Director G.J. Rao and AGPL CEO Amit Malik had invited the workers for talks on May 8. But when they tried to enter the port for discussions, the Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) employees did not allow them inside despite the High Court’s directive.
Though the meeting on Thursday was cordial, the R&R workers refused to resume operations, including supply of cargo to Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), until all their demands were met, the release added.
