Construction workers fail to get govt benefits

[Informalisation and Labour Rights - Related News]

As a majority of the construction labourers are not registered under the State Labour Commission, it is affecting various services and benefits to be given to them under the labour Act and laws. According to a rough estimate, the district has around 4 lakh construction workers, but the registration of only a few thousands has been completed so far. Monetary benefits in case of accidental and natural deaths, health and education facility to the dependants of labourers and pension cannot be availed by the labourers if they are not registered.
