more-inWearing black Ts and masking their faces with a white kerchief, dozens of working and retrenched employees on Friday protested the ongoing mass lay-offs in the information technology sector. “Over the last three months, up to 25,000 people have been sacked in the city by different companies. These were some of the horror stories narrated by the retrenched employees who assembled at a park in Madhapur area of the city. “We demand that the government come out with a white paper on retrenchments in the IT sector. The government is giving all goodies to the IT companies but they are not bothered about employees,” said Mr. Chandra.
