Delhi government will constitute a mandi workers development organisation for welfare of labourers working at wholesale vegetable and fruit markets, Delhi Development Minister Gopal Rai today said.
Addressing a crowd at a programme held in Azadpur Mandi, he said,"the Mandi Shramik Vikas Sangthan will be constituted for welfare of labourers working at the mandis in Delhi."
The organisation will hold camps at the mandis for registration of labourers working there. After registration, the labourers will be provided registration cards, he said.
Paying tribute to Chaudhary Heera Singh as a true well- wisher of farmers whose tireless efforts resulted in the Azadpur Mandi for vegetable and fruits, Rai said, "He (Singh) always voiced the concerns and interests of farmers and landless people. Delhi government is furthering his commitment towards the farmers.
