“L & T Chief breaks silence on Sunday, suspending the work, citing the project pressure

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of L & TN SN Subrahmanyan addressed the reverse reaction to his comment that employees should work on Sunday, and clarify that he was presented with a offer and recorded without approval.

In an interview with Moneycontrol, Subrahmanyan explained that the observation was made during an unofficial conversation while struggling with serious delays through multi -risk projects.

“There were serious issues in my mind,” he said. “Five or six clients, including some very prominent offers, spoke with me personally, contacted me, and sent email messages about our progress. I was worried because we were struggling to mobilize employees and work, and the work was not happening in the way that should be.

He added that the situation was professionally embarrassing. “It was not good to be called on this level. It is not reflected well for me or the organization.”

Subrahmanyan confirmed that Sunday’s comment was not intended as a guidance and occurred during an unreasonable registration. He said: “When a noble man asked me about the question, I spoke accidentally.” “But it contradicts the rules as there was a legal warning against not registering.”

Acknowledged the reaction of the audience and the personal influence. He said: “After it was too late, I could respond differently.” “I usually speak in an easy way. This is my style. But I admit that I have spoken differently. My wife also felt bad because her name was involved.”

In thinking about emotional losses, Subrahmanyan said: “It was not easy. It has been prey in my mind. But what happened, happened. I cannot withdraw it now. If a similar question comes in a similar mood, I may answer differently.”

The wrong is attributed to the stress caused by the performance of the poor project, describing it as “oxygen”. “When a mistake occurs, things appear this way. Perhaps it could have come out differently,” he said.

The suspension appeared amid the scrutiny of the high wages in Suprimanian. According to Mint, his wages jumped nearly 50 % in the fiscal year 25 – from 51.05 rupees to 76.25 rupees – before the outbreak of the controversy, which increases general criticism.
