| Kathua labour sarai awaits completion | | | early times report
Kathua, Feb 5: The Rs. 57.75 Crore Labour Sarai building is awaiting completion notwithstanding the claims to the contrary by PWD. The PWD claims that the building has been constructed and only minor finishing needs to be done. The PWD also claims that delay in release of funds had delayed handover of the building to the labour department.
As per the policy of government the labour sarai buildings are being constructed at the district headquarters of all districts for the welfare of labour working in and around the periphery of the district headquarter who come from different places.
The Labour Department has acquired piece of land at Kathua and funds were also placed at the disposal of PWD out of which labour sarai building has been constructed in 2008 while it was started in 2004-05.
But the concerned executing agency PWDofficial said that the labour department has released the payment of project to the PWD only 4Rs. 0.83 Lakh out of Rs 57.75 Lakh due to which the PWD is delaying handover of the building.
The Labour Department is responsible to work for the welfare of labour but the department itself showing is hampering the welfare work. Few months ago the Labour Commissioner had given the assurance to take control of labour sarai to provide accommodation to the labour class. But no action has been taken so far and the labour class is suffering.
The PWD official said a letter has been already been written to the assistant labour commissioner Kathua vide this office letter no. 3819-20/G dated 10-9-2011 for funds so that building is completed and handed over to the labour department.
