Today, the Punjab Palledar Union staged a Dharna in front of the warehouse of Punjab State Warehousing Corporation Fort Raipur under the leadership of local president Gurmeet Singh and secretary Kuldeep Singh. Addressing this protest, State General Secretary of Punjab Palledar Union Ranjit Singh, General Secretary of Council of Trade Union District Ludhiana DP Maur said that the wages due to the Palledars for their hard work have not been paid by the contractor Ram Ji Das in collusion with the officers of the department. The labor money which has not been given is about nine lakh rupees. Despite bringing this matter to the attention of higher officials, no action was taken, due to which the workers have been forced to stage a dharna. The leaders said that the government is also being blackmailed by the contractor by wrongly registering the names and addresses of the fake workers. The leaders demanded that the money due to the workers should be immediately taken from the contractor and paid to the workers.
