Labour Union President thanks GJM for the Union’s growth

Acquainting about the
increment of labour charge in the Cinchona plantation, Ruchal said that since
1988 until now the labourers were given Rs 21. 62 paise labour charge.
Regarding this an order was passed a year ago for Labour fixation but the
labourers were not benefitted until yet. But soon after the Trinamool Congress
came into power they had notified that it will soon be started according to
which the scheme has been initiated since October 1, 2011 and the order letter
for the same has been received yesterday, he informed. Under this the labour
charge will be increased to Rs 171 including DA, he added.
Tagging this as a
historic feat, the President said that the Cinchona work will improve the lives
of approximately 5000 labourers. If the Government keeps a close check then the
Cinchona could be used in manufacturing of different types of medicines plus
much profit is there in this business. Hence, an establishment of a Cinchona
Sale Division here is a must, asserted Ruchal. If the Government grants 50
crores for Cinchona then we are ready to give 50 crores back to the Government after
the Cinchona plantation, he claimed.
Lastly, he mentioned
that various Unions were established in the past 25 years but none of them
fought for the increment of the labour charge. “We thank all those who
supported and helped us throughout”, he concluded.
