I am Kani from PTS Ambattur. All of us may have a doubt why Pongal gifts were given to construction workers alone. And any assistance money comes first to construction workers not for other registered workers. Mr. Senthil the head of TN construction welfare board has explained it well. He said the workers who dont have a permanent owner are called unorganised workers. Sometimes because of the way look they get arrested by police sometimes. This construction workers welfare board is formed for the welfare and safety of workers. In the year 1986 many protests were done. The pioneers were construction workers. In he year 1982 the law for physical workers was not streamlined. As intermediate arrangement they asked for Rs.10000 from CM relief fund. In the year 1986 CM MGR gave Rs.5000. In the year 1989 as election manifesto DMK declared to give intermediate relief of Rs10000. In the protest many were arrested. Construction workers were supposed to pay Rs.10. In that Rs.4 is for insurance, Rs.6 is savings. 2% will b taken for management expense. He said no one should be called as cooley worker. He explained very well about owner, worker. In next zoom lets all participate and under go the training.
