Labour dept. of Jharkhand has sent a letter to BRO

Principal secretary of Labour Department, Jharkhand Government has sent a letter to Border Road Organization (BRO) under directions from Chief Minister Hemant Soren, asking several questions related to the betterment and welfare of thousands of Casual Paid Labourers with BRO.

We have received multiple reports from Ladakh, Himachal and Uttarakhand about precarious conditions faced by our workers during 2nd wave of COVID during April-May 2021, including death of 11 CPLs in Uttarakhand in avalanche in April 21.

He said I draw your attention to the yearly induction of Casual Paid Labourers (CPL) from Jharkhand by BRO. State Govt has been informed about thousands of migrant workers working as CPLs with BRO since March 2021.
