Construction Workers Federation of India, Tirupur district unit, has appealed to the authorities to issue identity cards to inter-state workers employed in the construction sector in the district.
The Federation’s district president M. Chandran said the issuance of identity cards was necessary for the workers to get welfare assistances disbursed by the State government through the welfare board. Presently, more than 30 per cent of the workers in the sector in the district were migrant workers, the CWFI sources said.
