Police, workers clash a second day

[dArKeR]

Indian riot police and workers of the Indian unit of Japan's Honda Motor clashed for a second day yesterday on New Delhi's outskirts after nearly 130 people were injured in pitched battles on Monday, officials said.
The steel-helmeted police fired teargas and used water canon and bamboo canes to push back hundreds of workers yesterday in Gurgaon, a satellite city of the capital, after they broke through barricades.

The protesters had gathered outside a hospital where people hurt in Monday's clashes were being treated. Authorities had no word on any fresh injuries. But TV footage showed many flung to the ground by the force of the water.

1. dArKeR, you sure are covering a lot of Sino-Indian badness.

Any particular reason?

2. I would never have known about the troubles if not on DU...

I find the labor problems to be dramatic and relevant to my own issues with the status of U.S. labor. We are 'one world' now and what hurts a fellow worker in India can come to haunt me if I don't pay attention. I appreciate the effort dArKeR
