ITANAGAR, Sept 12: The 763 Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has set up a dedicated play and learning room for the children of casual paid labourers engaged in road construction in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, a defence official said on Friday.
The move aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children while easing the burden on women labourers, who often juggle demanding road-building work with childcare responsibilities, Guwahati-based Defence Spokesperson Lt Col Mahendra Rawat said in a statement.
Many of these women, carry their young children to construction sites due to the absence of alternative facilities, the statement said.
