Just 10% of 15,000 labourers working in construction industry to registered themselves with PMC

Only 10% of the of the labourers working in the construction industry have registered themselves with the Pune Municipal Corporation.
The city has over 15,000 workers employed at various construction sites, but civic officials said just about 1,500 are on PMC’s books.
“Many workers in Pune come from different parts of the country. Getting their documents, such as address proof, local guardian details, bank details and domicile certificate, creates obstacles to their registration,” Shivaji Daundkar, head of PMC’s labour department, said.
The state government’s department of labour is responsible for the formulation, implementation and enforcement of labour laws in the state. It also undertakes the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes, industrial safety, health, and promotes the welfare of workers in undertakings falling within the sphere of the state.
Based on it the workers in the unorganized sector, who work on at least 90 days in a year, and their families, are entitled to benefits such as medical treatment, health insurance, accident insurance and life insurance, and educational facilities.
Since 2017, PMC has carried out special drives to maintain records of workers. Daundkar said the primary responsibility of data collection lay with the district labour department. Most of the workers come from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan and Odisha.
“The registration of the workers can be done by any agency, but the priority should be their housing and safety. The hazards of working on construction sites should be addressed,” Nitin Pawar of Bandhakam Mazdoor Sabha, a construction workers’ union, said.
Pawar said, Just like the PMC’s building permissions department monitors construction activity, workers’ welfare too should be monitored.
