RAMBAN: The Office of the Assistant Labour Commissioner Ramban, in collaboration with JK Bank organized an awareness camp at village Perhinder Neel to enhance outreach of social security and welfare schemes among construction workers of the district.

The camp witnessed enthusiastic participation from construction workers, who gathered to understand the significant reforms introduced through the new Labour Codes.
Assistant Labour Commissioner, Amit Kumar briefed the attendees about key provisions related to workers’ rights including timely wage payments, occupational safety and access to crucial social security benefits covering healthcare, education support, old age protection and pension schemes. He stressed the role of awareness in empowering workers to claim their lawful entitlements.
