Balochistan Governor Malik Abdul Wali Khan Kakar said the federal and provincial governments are taking steps for the welfare of all workers and farmers to give them a respectable position in society so that their economic condition could improve.
He expressed these views in his message on the occasion of the International Labor Day.
The governor said that they were well aware of the conditions and difficulties faced by the workers due to the extreme poverty, inflation and unemployment which has had a direct impact on the working class, especially after last year’s flash floods in Balochistan, the life of labourers has become miserable.
However, we are taking practical steps through unique income support programs, utility stores in the province, Pakistan Red Crescent Society and many national and international organizations to end the economic hardship of the poor and needy people and to create some ease in their lives, he underlined.
He said that apart from this, conscious efforts were being made to promote economic and commercial activities across the province and to provide necessary facilities to the poor farmers at their doorsteps.
Kakar said that it was a recognized fact that the working class was the backbone of the industrial and economic development of the country saying that it was the laborers and farmers who work day and night to increase the national production.
