Fighting for poor

The “Right Thinking Indians Association, Chhattisgarh” has complained about short payment of wages. The Contractor is making payment of Rs 3700/- to Rs 4000/- per head and taking signature in the receipt as Rs 5,800/- from the Daily wages workers employed in Central Excise Division-I & II, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. The minimum wages fixed is RS 6,300/- and the Collector’s Circular is available.

It is more or less same in every Govt Department. The minimum wages fixed by the District Collectors of Raipur & Durg are not being paid to such Daily wages workers. There is no Trade Union/labour Association to hear and take steps for redressal of the plights of the poor laborers.  The so called philanthropists and political leaders have their own arguments / pleas and no time to look into the social problems.

We have heard that the complaint was disposed off by the Labour Commissioner in favour of the labour Contractor. In the mean time, a complaint was also sent to “Human Rights Commission, Chhattisgarh” who in turn has sent the same to the Labour Commissioner office of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Now the Labour Commissioner’s Office has taken cognizance of the Complaint of “Right Thinking Indians Association, Chhattisgarh”. The Asstt Labour Commissioner Shri D.K Singh has directed the Labour Enforcement Officer to conduct Enquiry of the matter. Let us see the result.

The Association will never leave the cause of poor persons who are struggling hard to arrange their 2 time meal every day. This is most noble cause in life i.e to fight for the proletariats and give them the much needed and much awaited justice.
