Mysuru: The employees of Falcon Tyres located on KRS Road in Metagalli have urged Higher Education Minister G.T. Devegowda to exert pressure on the State Government for re-opening the factory, which has been shut for over three years. Members of Falcon Tyres Employees Union, who met the Minister at the Thanksgiving function organised at Lingadevarakoppal on Mysuru-Hunsur road yesterday, apprised Minister GTD on the problems faced by hundreds of employees following the closure of the factory.
Pointing out that it was a matter of life and death for hundreds of employees and their family members, the Union appealed the Minister to summon a meeting between Edelweiss Company, which has taken over the factory and the factory Union office-bearers to sort out issues, so that the factory can be re-started.
