Chandigarh, June 22, 2020: CICU has written a letter to Prime Minister of India, Minister of Railways and Chief Minister of Punjab to start adequate train service, so that labour from UP, Bihar and Jharkhand can come to Punjab.
Upkar Singh Ahuja, President and Pankaj Sharma, General Secretary, CICU in a joint statement said that due to present COVID-19 situation labour was sent back to their native places.
Presently, labourers are in trouble at their native places as they have no money left for day to day expenses like food, phone bill etc. and are willing to work.
Only hurdle they are facing is transport to come back. On the other hand industrial output is only 40% due labour shortage.
