Das, on this occasion, also announced several other gifts for the cleaning staff. “We will be providing shoes and dresses to every cleaning staff within a two three months along with the bicycles so that they can also lead a life with dignity. You are also serving the country and the State for which you should not feel ashamed of,” said the CM. In a bid to provide financial support to the women workers who are trained in stitching, the Government will also give them sewing machines, added the CM.
