Following the lockdown, about 400 workers have been stranded in the Ramco Cements plant at Haridaspur in Jajpur district.
The workers belong to other States including Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar.
The workers alleged that they are not provided proper food. Though the operation of plant has been shut, the labourers are struggling to avail food and essential items being stuck inside the factory.
Reports said the workers staged a protest demanding food for their survival. The Dharmasala police reached the plant and held talks with the agitators.
Meanwhile, Tehsildar Sarojkanta Panda has raised the issue with the Ramco Cements management. He said he would meet the workers. The district Collector has also been approached to intervene in the matter.
