Dear Dr. Naik, Labour Commissioner / Secretary Odisha Construction Board,

Kindly refer to unprecedented social & economic effect of Coronavirus in our Country/ Odisha. While the various Preventive measures both by State & Central Governments are laudable,

most hit are Unorganized Workers/ Daily Wagers engaged in Construction & other Sectors in Cities & Panchayat Areas. With no wok due to closure by Employers & partially by Government like Municipal Corporation ect to avoid congregation , May i request you to immediately provide Financial Relieve to Registered Workers in State Construction Board- Odisha claiming to be A Model State & accordingly can be A Game Changer in providing Financial  & Medical help to Registered Construction & Other Building Workers in the State- thereby saving their Livelihood, besides pumping money /Demand in the Economy.

Kindly do the the needful on urgent basis ,

I am endorsing this mail to Union Labour Secretary with request to issue A Suitable Guidelines for All Construction Boards in States, Huge Construction Cess Fund  Laying unutilized with State Boards can be best utilized @ this time of National Tragedy.

With Cheers,

Respected Samariya Saheb ( Union Labour Secretary )

I am sending this mail out of Anguish & Concern for Million of Migrant workers now stranded @ various states as reported widely by tPrint & Visual Channels & importantly in Todays  Indian Express-expressing grave concern to focus on Saving life of these  Distressed Migrant Workers who till yesterday were the mainstay of Industrial & Social Sectors of our Society of of Host States.

In above perspective i request your kindself immediate intervention by holding A Video Conference with All Labour Secretary of States- expressing Central Govt concern of Distress Migrant Workers & requesting Host States to immediately save their Lives by proving Food & Shelter, 

Self Regulation by Individuals through Lockdown imposed by Central/State governments & Calling Private Industries/Individuals for Helping Hand cannot replace the Primary Responsibility of both Central & State Governments @ this Juncture

IGfP is taking all required Proactive Action to the extent possible @ this time like extending suggestion for immediate relieve to Construction Workers & it is Gratifying to note Positive response of MOL in issuing necessary Advisory( Copy Forwarded Herewith )
