He said that one cannot imagine what type of hardships these workers and their families have to suffer especially when the prices of essential commodities are soaring day by day. “All these workers are agitating for their rights by participating in dharnas, rallies and demonstration under the banner of Federation but their voice did not reach to the deaf years of the authorities”, he added.
