On migrants and construction workers issue, Delhi Labour Minister Gopal Rai also interacted with nodal officers digitally.
Delhi government has given Rs5000 financial assistance to construction workers.
While Delhi government has allowed construction activities in Delhi, Rai said that workers can register themselves on web portal - www.edistrict.delhigovt.nic.in to get assistance from the government.
Rai said that 40000 workers have received financial assistance from the government till date. The Minister has directed nodal officers to collect labourers and construction workers’ data so that timely assistance could avail them.
This may be noted that in May month, few construction workers could not get the assistance as they weren’t registered with government’s e-portal thus Aam Aadmi Party ( AAP) in Delhi has launched the web portal.
