I am Mariyammal. I liked Mutthurani's talk in Sadhanai pengal program. She has shared about her union activities and joining members. Before joining union she has worked as cooley worker. Her husband supported her fully in her social work. I liked it very much. She also told that she has joined her daughter in social work. No one has done it before. I liked it very much. Wishes to her on behalf of Ambedkar union.
I am Karpagavalli from Semmalar union. Lock down has been implemented due to corona virus. This is useful for safeguarding people from sickness. But this is difficult for daily wagers. There is no problem for rich people. But this is difficult for poor people. Now prices of things has been raised. During Diwali and Pongal prices are increased and thats ok but now already there is no work and they are increasing price at this time. So Govt should take actions to sell things on reasonable price.

She says Rs. 1000 given by Govt is not sufficient. It will be good if they give some more money.

I am Nagarathinam. All mill workers mention your date of birth and name in Adhar card. Also link your mobile number. If you do this you will not find difficulty while claiming PF. If you are not ding these things properly, mill will make you go on rounds. Thus you will lose the interest in getting your PF. keep all your details properly in Adhar and link your mobile number.
