'Provide benefits to the genuine construction workers'

Imphal, May 22 2021:
Loyalam Construction Workers Welfare Union appealed to the Government and authorities concerned to provide the benefits already approved by the Central Government to the construction workers in the State at the earliest.
In a statement, the union said that the Central Government declared to give monetary aid of Rs 1000 each to the construction workers in the country amid the difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However the authorities concerned in the State have informed the construction workers to submit the necessary documents to avail the benefits which is an impossible task at the moment since most of the computer centres across the State are closed due to the ongoing curfew and other restrictions imposed by the State.
The Workers Union therefore appealed to the authorities concerned to provide the sanctioned benefits to the construction workers based on the records already available in the departments which have been submitted earlier.
Further it warned to all concerned not to prepare any bogus list just for some vested interests.
