This is a petition for police protection. An interim order of protection was already granted, provided, work is carried out by the permanent employees mentioned in the Ext.P2 Check roll. We also make it clear that work should be given to the workers mentioned under Ext.P2(a) and Ext.P2(b). If the unions or workers are of the opinion that more workers are to be engaged or right of employment is obstructed, they should get appropriate orders by raising disputes before the labour authorities.
