Hyderabad: Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao on Monday asked officials to keep the labourers wherever they are working and take up health check ups in those areas.

The Minister along with Labour Minister CH Mallareddy reviewed the welfare of the construction labourers with the Labour and Industries department officials on Monday. He said that it was the responsibility of the industries apart from the government to take care of the construction labours.

He said that the workers were eager to go to their native places as there is no work. However, if they are allowed to come outside the intention of lockdown would be defeated. The government has been providing rice and Rs 500 even to the labourers who don't have ration cards, he said.
