Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals employs more than 70% from Karnataka

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals (MRPL NSE -1.07 %) has initiated an investigation into the concerns raised by people’s representatives on bypassing local people in recruitments and employing people from outside the state in the company. Being a responsible PSU, the chief vigilance officer is holding the investigation and will report to the central vigilance commission, a release from the company said on Thursday.

A meeting on the recruitment issue was held recently in which the district-in-charge Minister, MP and MLAs in Dakshina Kannada district took part.

“MRPL would like to reaffirm our commitment to a fair and transparent process that ensures social justice to all concerned,” it said.
