Police had detained two persons as part of the probe, which was aimed at uncovering any illicit demands made on the plant’s management. After reviewing evidence and ensuring compliance with legal procedures, the officials lifted the temporary halt on operations.
The plant’s management has stated that all activities will resume as before, with no reported damage to production lines. Local workers and suppliers are expected to return to normal schedules.
