Muscat: Some 2,000 workers of NCC (Nagarjuna Construction Company) International went on a flash strike at different work sites of the Indian company in Oman.

“We have not been paid for the last two months,” a worker told Gulf News on condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution. He said that 2,000 workers went on strike on Sunday.

The company’s General Manager Hamoud Al Amri, however, denied any knowledge of the strike.

“How can you believe if workers claim to be on strike, there’s no strike,” he said while talking to Gulf News by phone later in the evening.
