Punjab Labour Department would soon establish a well equipped ultramodern Labour Complex at Chawinda-Pasrur for providing the better basic amenities to the local labourers and workers at local level with a total cost of Rs 110 million through Workers Welfare Fund (WWF).
The Punjab Minister for Labour and Human Resources Syed Akhtar Hussain Rizvi stated this while talking to the newsmen here on Tuseday. He said that a local landlord Maulla Bukhsh had donated a piece of three acre of land for this purpose.
He said the Punjab Labour Department had completed the necessary paper work after the preparation of a detailed feasibility report for the establishment of another 1000 flats for residential Labour Colony with a total cost of Rs 500 million. This labour colony will be constructed near by Sambrial-Daska on the main Sialkot-Sambrial Wazirabad road. It will provide with the better residential facilities to the local as well as industrial workers closer to their work places.
Rizvi said that the required land was also being acquired near Sambrial-Daska and construction work of this project would be started before the end of the current year. He said that the separate primary schools would also be established in this new labour residential colony for the quality and advanced education of industrial workers' children.
He said the government had prepared a comprehensive plan for the welfare of the labourers and industrial workers with a total cost of Rs one billion.
Under this plan, he said, all basic and advanced education, health and other facilities would be provided to the labourers, industrial workers and their families on top priority basis.
