Congress leader Surya Kant Dhasmana has termed the Uttarakhand Government’s decision to pay Rs 1,000 each to 2.5 lakh workers associated with tourism and transport industry as an insult of these workers.
He said that the provision of Rs 1000 is very less and inadequate. In a statement, the Congress leader that the government made announcement of the decision in a manner as if it is providing Rs 1 lakh to the workers. Dhasmana said that from last 60 days these workers are unemployed and the decision to provide Rs 1000 to these people roughly amounts to Rs 16 per day.
He said that the Government should have transferred at least Rs 5000 in the bank accounts of these people. The Congress leader demanded that the government should make amendment in its decision and transfer Rs 5,000 in the bank accounts of these people who are facing the brunt of lockdown.
