<h1>Employees and pensioners stage dharna at publicly owned coal firm HQ demanding pension revision, pay parity and wider medical benefits</h1> Employees and pensioners held a dharna at the headquarters of a state-owned coal company pressing claims for pension revision, pay parity and expanded medical benefits. Two national associations representing current and retired staff organized the protest and submitted a detailed memorandum to company leadership, while applauding recent administrative transparency measures but stressing unresolved welfare issues that could affect industrial harmony. The groups warned further industrial action may follow pending the government's response, highlighting potential labour-relations and operational risks if demands are not addressed.
