They said that contingent workers are getting a salary in between 1000 to 3000 per month but authorities are failed to provide us even this very little amount.

They said that we are working 24X7 even in pandemic but due to unavailability of salary they are state of depression.

Workers said the delay in release of their salary has pushed them to state of depression particularly the ones who are married and have to support a family.

“Our families are at the verge of starvation, how we can feed our family from the meager salary of Rs 1000 to Rs 3000. Even this amount is not released on time,” they said, and added that the government should consider the situation of CPWs and announce a hike in the monthly remuneration as well.
