I) The decision to close down the factory that directly employing around 3,500 workers,
II) including 2,500 on contract (since put on notice), come against the
III) backdrop of the killing of 13 persons in police firing at a anti-Sterlite rally a week ago.
There is no correction required in the statement. Option 4) is the correct answer.
Let's see why the changes made are wrong:
I - The factory is closed now => it employed workers. factory that employing is grammatically incorrect without is/was either way.
II - Decision = singular => comes.
III - anti starts with a vowel sound => use an.
