Vasan on Friday urged the State government to provide bonus for workers in unorganised sectors and part time teachers ahead of Deepavali festival.In a statement, the PMK leader said “It is disheartening that the grievances of the workers in unorganised sectors were not fulfilled by the State government.” The Government of Union Territory of Puducherry has provided ₹ 5,000 for construction workers and ₹ 1,500 for unorganised sector workers as bonus. Similarly the Tamil Nadu government should also give ₹ 5,000 as bonus for upcoming Deepavali festival to unorganised workers who have registered with the Tamil Nadu Unorganised Workers Welfare Board, he said.
In another statement, Mr. Vasan urged the State government to provide incentive for part time teachers. Over 12,000 part time teachers have been working for nearly 13 years on a consolidated pay basis. The State government should take steps to provide bonus for them to celebrate Deepavali festival, he added.
