The Pioneer, 3rd June, 2008
The labourers of village Daudpat of Dharamgarh block in Kalahandi district are on an indefinite strike demanding work or unemployment wages. Due to unemployment, many labourers from the nearby village have migrated to other States for earning their livelihood. Now, the labourers of these areas have formed a union and started campaigning for their legitimate benefits.
Hundreds of labourers staged a dharna before the block office of Dharamgarh but all in vain. They alleged that the block officials are working only under the instruction of some influential contractors for their benefit.
More than 1,500 labourers gathered at the meeting and voiced their grievance that they are not getting any work, they said.
