Now what about the future of these employees? Nokia is giving 6months or at the most 10 months compensation...
Govt should really interfere in these cases.

This plant is closing due to taxation issue with govt only.

This plant is closing due to taxation issue with govt only.

But what Nokia has been saying in its statement is that Microsoft has terminated the agreement to get products from this plant.

Other news agencies are citing taxation issue and fine impos d by GOI due to which they are shutting down the plant

Can't say who is responsible, but it's really feels pitiful for a company that once ruled the cellphone market.

And they themselves are responsible for all this.Opting for Windows Phone was biggest mistake.
