Horatti to ask govt. to address grievances of workers

He distributes food kits and thanks govt. for coming to the rescue of workers during pandemic

Considering the plight of workers during the pandemic, Chairman of Legislative Council Basavaraj Horatti has said that he will issue directions to the State government to collect information regarding the problems of workers and take steps to address their grievances. He was speaking after distributing food and safety gear kits to workers of construction and other industries in a programme jointly organised by the district administration, Labour Department and Karnataka Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board at Lamington School in Hubballi on Tuesday. Mr. Horatti said that he had asked the reason for food kits not being distributed to construction workers in Hubballi, while construction workers were being extended help in other parts of the State. “Consequently, Labour Minister Shivaram Hebbar had promised to send more food kits to Hubballi. Accordingly, he has taken steps and directed officials to take up immediate distribution of food kits to workers,” he said.
