The unrest at Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India's facility in Tapukara continues. An indefinite hunger strike has been issued by workers at Tapukara facility. Now, five workers have entered the seventh day of their hunger strike with no end in sight.

Unrest at Tapukara facility began when five employees attempting to form a Union were terminated from their services. These five employees have been on an indefinite hunger strike. The workers want to form a Union so that there is some sort of job security.
