May 1, 2020 12:35 PM


President Arif Alvi has paid a tribute to the labourers for their historic struggle for their fundamental rights and suggested them to continue to play their role for the development of the country.

While speaking on the International Labour Day, the President said that “the government will take each possible step in order to improve the conditions of the labours.”

He said that the pandemic has led to the massive layoffs around the world, including Pakistan. “The coronavirus has severely affected the daily wagers, and it is due to it that the global economy is static today.”

“However, we pay a tribute to the labours for their historic struggle for their fundamental rights,” President Alvi said, and instructed the provincial governments to “intensify” their efforts in ensure the welfare and the rights of the labourers.

The President said that the incumbent government initiated Ehsaas Emergency Cash Relief Programme in order to provide urgent relief to the daily wagers.

“The government is completely aware of the troubles these daily wagers are facing due to the lockdowns.”
