The ban on construction activities in the national Capital during the emergency levels of pollution had left migrant labourers in the lurch after contractors refused to pay them, the
Delhi Government has informed the Supreme Court-appointed watchdog Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA).
The EPCA has now decided to review the issue, which forced many labourers to leave, and hammer out a solution as it concerned the livelihoods of thousands who flock to the city in search of work.
EPCA chairman Bhure lal and member Sunita Narain have stressed that contractors would have to pay the labourers during the period of the ban.
