Shares in Maruti Suzuki fell 1.6 per cent after a business newspaper reported that workers are planning a hunger strike and other peaceful protests to force the management to take back the 548 employees sacked after the deadly violence in July that hit production.

The violence at Maruti Suzuki India's Manesar plant in July was not instigated from outside, but was due to internal issues between management and workers, according to the chargesheet filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to probe the incident.

The company has been gradually ramping up production at the plant, which had been locked out for a month following the July 18 violence, in which one senior official was killed.

Hit by a month-long lockout at its Manesar plant due to violence, the country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India today reported 40.8 per cent decline in total sales for August at 54,154 units as against 91,442 units in the same month last year.

Maruti Suzuki today said it is committed to operations in Haryana and will not cut back any planned investment in the state, although the Manesar plant would function under security cover for the time being due to unprecedented violence there last month.
