Miners threaten fast unto death
Barapukuria miners, who are on indefinite strike for regularisation of their jobs, yesterday threatened to go on fast unto death to realise the demand.
They gave the threat at a rally in front of Barapukuria Coal Mining Company Ltd (BCMCL).
Coal production of BCMCL remained suspended for second day due to the strike.
Talks are in progress to solve the crisis, said BCMCL Deputy General Manager Khan Mohammad Zafor Sadiq.
Meanwhile, 285 miners who took position 1400ft under the ground since the strike was enforced are yet to come out from there.
