It is the need of the hour that we work together with unity, so that the resolutions and decisions we take are implemented timely, properly, and smoothly with the support of all stakeholders,” said Minister Dukam. He further highlighted the importance of respecting the dignity of labour, stating, “Labourers and workers are the builders of our state.

The Minister also appealed to all organisations to celebrate May Day (International Labour Day) on May 1 and to observe Bishwakarma Diwas in September, as celebrated by sections of the workers’ community.
He further assured that any issues concerning the workers and labour community should be brought directly to his attention so they could be resolved through proper discussion and deliberation.
