RAMBAN, DECEMBER 05: The Office of the Assistant Labour Commissioner (ALC) Ramban in collaboration with JK Bank, on Friday organized a comprehensive Awareness Camp for Construction Workers at Trigam Khari Block. The initiative aimed to generate awareness about the social security and welfare schemes tailored for construction workers.
The camp witnessed overwhelming participation of workers, who evinced keen interest in learning about the newly implemented Labour Codes and the wide range of benefits offered under the Jammu & Kashmir Building and Other Construction Workers’ Welfare Board (JKBOCWWB).
Assistant Labour Commissioner Amit Kumar explained the key provisions of the new Labour Codes, highlighting their importance in ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions and access to social security benefits including healthcare, education and pension support.
