He also highlighted the welfare schemes of the J&K Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (JKBOCWWB).
The workers were encouraged to register on the JK Samadhan App, a dedicated grievance redressal portal, and spread awareness about PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, being implemented by JPDCL under the directions of Deputy Commissioner Ramban, Baseer-Ul-Haq Chaudhary. A helpline number (9419192398) was shared for further assistance.
The ALC also informed the workers about E-Shram, Mission Youth schemes like Mumkin and Tejaswini, the ESI scheme, and the Mission YUVA Survey.
