Up country ministers get tough with Govt.

26 Oct 2018

Government ministers representing the up country estate community have warned of action against the government if steps are not taken to increase the daily wage of estate workers to Rs. 1,000. Minister Palani Digambaram says that he would continue to exert pressure on the government to win the Rs. 1,000 daily wage for the estate workers. Meanwhile, Minister V. Radhakrishnan said that he would think twice about supporting the government's 2019 Budget if the demand for a Rs. 1,000 daily wage is not met. However, Minister Mano Ganeshan noted that a discussion on the estate workers' daily wage will be held with the Prime Minister on Monday (29).
