The employees, who had announced on Monday that they will not accept wages for half month relented and on Tuesday collected salary for the first fortnight of April last year. The BRC has apparently tided over the crisis looming large over the horizon.

Employees B U Upadhyay, S D Sudan, L S Saiyyed, V P Shah and H P Sharma, who were on an indefinite fast since September 14, were provided food and water by deputy labour commissioner D K Patel and Baba Saheb Gaikwad, son of BRC chairman Sangram Singh Gaikwad, marking a symbolic end to their fast and the latest strike of BRC employees. Employees were seen rejoicing after the agreement was reached, as the salary for April and May will enable them to make necessary purchases for Diwali.
