ITANAGAR, Feb 23: Home Minister Bamang Felix today advised the labour community to be aware of their rights and entitled benefits, and to earn dignity for their hard work by dedicatedly undertaking their work.
Felix was speaking at an awareness program for the labour community of 19-Nyapin Constituency, organized by the All Arunachal Pradesh Public Health Engineering Supply Department Workers Union (AAPPHESDWU) in collaboration with the Arunachal Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (APB&OCWWB).
Stating that a nation cannot progress without the hard work of labourers, the Minister called on the gathering to take pride in their work but at the same time be aware of the rights and benefits they can avail as labourer.
He also urged the gathering to take benefit of the Seva Aapke Dwar events to register themselves for various Central and State Flagship Programmes.
Taliha MLA-cum-APB&OCWWB Chairman Nyato Dukam urged all concerned to register themselves with the APB&OCWWB. He said that due to non-registration, many labourers get deprived of the benefits provided to them by the Board.
He informed that the Board has enhanced various financial aids to the labourers which among many includes Rs four lakhs in the event of accidental death, maternity benefit of Rs 10,000, educational benefits, etc.
APB&OCWWB Chairman also advised the labourer community to take part in such events sincerely as they can make themselves aware of their rights and benefits.
Responding to a memorandum submitted by AAPPHESDWU President Tadar Dowa, APB&OCWWB Chairman announced construction of two Labourer Sheds for the 19-Nyapin Assembly Constituency.
Meanwhile, the visiting dignitaries also dedicated an ambulance donated to the people of Kurung Kumey by the Daporijo-based Ningtemuri Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd, and distributed bags and tiffins to the registered workers provided by the APB&OCWWB.
