According to Madhav, the delegation had pleaded to the minister to merge the steel plant either in NMDC or SAIL so that the steel plant which was set up after 32 people sacrificed their lives could continue in the public sector to respect public sentiment. The minister had responded positively, he claimed.

Veerraju had urged the steel minister to provide a permanent solution to the displaced persons who suffered due to lack of employment opportunities since long, the MLC revealed.
