Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Quarries are located in a particular area away from habitation. People from different parts of the country are made to live in the quarries with their family members under unhygienic and insanitary conditions. It should be the responsibility of the employer to look after health care of the workmen & their families and education of the children and adults. The employer should also provide definite source of clean potable drinking water. Since, the workmen are engaged full time, it is necessary to plan for a permanent residential base at or near the work site. It should be the obligation of a welfare state to provide for all these facilities and amenities in tune with the directions of Apex court. Since stone quarries are concentrated in particular areas, placing a local officer will help in improving the lot of the workmen.
