I am Sumathi from PTS. Construction workers were announced to give Pongal gift on 10th to 13th. The allocation was given far away and workers had to go far to collect it and they have to pay almost Rs.300 bus fare to reach the place. Even if the workers go there sometimes they face challenges of not renewing the card. Workers without renewal was not given and made to go on round. Many issues were faced so workers told us in union. We told them after so much of protest Govt is giving this and there is fund in construction workers welfare board. No one is giving it free of cost. We have also protested for domestic helpers and requested to allot fund. Nothing is given for free. So we domestic helpers should also protest and get it.
