As per protesting Labours, they alleged that the concerned department doesn’t pay heed to all our problems , despite the completion of all the formalities and department gave us advice which was useless as we were deceived at the bank as the bank there they told that no money has been granted in your favour so far, That’s giving tough time to us and our families as we are unable to fullfill our daily needs allege Protesters.
Lateef Ahmad, one the angry protesters told INS that “We are demanding our unpaid dues since long but the department is paying no attention to our problems as faced by labours as that’s the amount we depend on and our family sustains on, BDO Office Qaziabad has been playing games with us and repeatedly telling that after some days the matter will be solved from past years, advices Have been Give to us 8 month’s before but till date not a penny has been paid in out favour Lateef ahmad Told”.
Qaziabad BDO when contacted told INS that I have recently joined as BDO and after listening to all these Labours I have told all my employees to sort the issue as soon as possible and assured that unpaid dues will be released in 10 days”. (INS)
