Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Thousands of labourers engaged in construction activity are starving as there has been no work for them for over a week after the Prime Minister announced ban on Rs.1,000 and Rs.500 notes. "The decision to impose ban on big notes has become a curse for construction workers. In many areas, construction has come to a halt, and in some places, labourers are working on the condition that they will be paid only when the contractor gets small value notes," a construction worker, Narasimha Rao, at the Benz Circle here, said.
