Women workers from several parts of Rudrapur staged a protest at the Deputy Labour Commissioner’s office after they said they had not received kits promised under a government scheme.

The protesters came from Transit Camp, Mukherjee Nagar, Jagatpura, Shivnagar and other areas. They objected to repeated delays in the distribution process and held a sit-in at the labour office.

The women alleged that officials had repeatedly given them new dates for receiving the kits, but they had still not received the scheme’s benefit. They said they depend on daily-wage work to support their families.

Workers cite lost wages

The protesters said repeated visits to the labour office were also affecting their earnings. As daily-wage workers, they said each visit meant losing time that could otherwise be spent working.

BJP councillor Nimit Sharma, Rajendra Rathore and councillor’s husband Radhesh Sharma joined the women in support. They accused departmental officials of negligence and said they would raise the matter with the state government.

As the protest intensified, labour officials came outside the office and spoke with the women. The officials assured them that kits would be distributed to all eligible women workers within one week.

The protesters ended their demonstration after receiving that assurance. The supplied account does not provide the number of women eligible for the kits or details of the items included in them.

Conclusion

Women workers in Rudrapur ended their protest after labour officials promised to distribute kits to all eligible beneficiaries within one week. The workers had raised concerns about repeated delays and lost daily wages.
