Ranchi, Aug 28 (PTI) A delegation of the Jharkhand government visited Ladakh to take stock of the conditions of the tribal labourers from the state working there in projects of the Border Roads Organization (BRO), an official statement said on Monday.
The delegation of the state’s Labour Department urged the BRO and the local administration to ensure the safety of the migrant workers, it said.
“The Santhal tribal workers of Jharkhand have a special contribution towards the infrastructure development of the nation. They have made immense contributions to the BRO as well,” the statement issued by the Chief Minister’s Secretariat said.
