During a pandemic, more than 1,000 medical representatives lose their lives throughout the country.
But there is no KIN of those who receive any compensation.
Even though the company gained profits by exploiting the situation and marketing black, they consistently showed no behavior Humanely them towards employees.
“In the state, there are around 8,000 union members spread across 10 district units and two sub-units – Gumla and Ramgarh.
