The OMM Panchasakha United Thikadar Sramik Mahasangh (OPUTSM) has threatened to launch strike against IOCL if it continues to show apathy to land losers and workers and does not clear their dues. After revealing problems faced by these people during Covid pandemic, the forum on Friday held a peaceful strike in front of main gate of IOCL.
