“Though the hike in salaries will put an additional burden on the company, the management keeping in mind the welfare of the workers is going ahead with the decision,”he said.

In the past, it used to take months for the salary to be paid after the decision of the Wage Board and it was implemented in Singareni only after its implementation in Coal India, but this time the company had decided to implement it early keeping the welfare of the workers, Balaram said.
