He has directed the officials to disburse the salary within a week, he said.
Subramani was working as contract labourer. Unfortunately the contract workers were not being given salaries on time. So, there is a need to regularize their services. This system should be changed and workers should get their salaries directly, he said.
There was a clear direction to appoint the number of workers. But the contractor has appointed more workers than required due to which, the problem cropped up. He has directed the officials to take measures to disburse the salaries to the contract workers on time, the DCM said.
