Newskarnataka – Mangalore
Mangalore: In reference to the recent cheating case of security guards by the proprietor of Garuda Security and Personnel Service at Pumpwell, the Akhila Bharata Karmika Sangha held a meet at the Press club on Wednesday November 27.
Addressing the media Sudatta Jain, General Secretary of Akhila Bharata Karmika Sangha said, “The Labour department stays responsible for the security guards being cheated. According to the information, there are 102 security firms functioning in DK district, but the labourers are just 502.
“More than 100 labourers are working in one security firm. In spite of requesting the labour department to conduct the survey and collect the details of all the laborers, they have failed to do it, which resulted in guard security cheating case”, he added
Further he explained, “As per the information gained by the labourers, the owner of Garuda security had written a letter to DC, Labour department and Police commissionerr stating to close the firm, due to financial problem and hence he had urged them to provide security to him. The firm which has taken the necessary documents from the labourers has not returned it back to them, which is required for other job opportunity.”
He also said, “When the labourers complained about the matter to the concerned department, they rudely answered of not having any responsibility, regarding the documents. The labour department must collect the details of labour working as security guards in every firm and must take the responsibility to return their required documents back to them.”
Jain assured that the labour union will protest against such department for their irresponsible statement and negligence towards the labourers. Garuda Security Firm labourers Vijay Kumar Bhat, Damodharan G, H Ismai and Gopalkrishna were present.
