Former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Hardial Singh Kamboj has stepped forward to champion the cause of workers in Rajpura's industrial belt. The political leader has assured his full support to the labour force, which is currently grappling with significant challenges related to employment and timely wages.
Former MLA Takes Up Workers' Cause
During a meeting held on Sunday, Hardial Singh Kamboj, who previously represented the Rajpura constituency, listened intently to the grievances of the workers. The gathering saw participation from a large number of employees from various factories located in the Rajpura industrial area. The core issues raised included the alarming trend of job losses and persistent delays in salary payments.
Kamboj did not mince words in his assessment of the situation. He attributed the current crisis to what he described as "anti-people policies" implemented by both the state and central governments. The ex-MLA argued that these policies have created a difficult environment for both industrial operations and the workforce dependent on them.
A Promise of Action and Escalation
The former legislator made a firm commitment to the assembled workers. He promised to raise their concerns at every relevant platform to ensure their voices are heard by the authorities. Kamboj stated that if the government continues to ignore the legitimate demands of the workers, he will be compelled to launch a strong agitation.
His plan involves mobilising the affected workers and leading a protest to press for their rights. This move signals a potential escalation in the ongoing dialogue between the industrial workforce and the ruling administration.
The Underlying Grievances in Rajpura's Industries
The workers' delegation presented a stark picture of the industrial climate in Rajpura. Beyond job security and wages, they highlighted broader issues affecting the region's economic health. The conversation pointed to a need for more supportive policies to revive and sustain industrial growth, which directly impacts employment.
By pledging his support, Hardial Singh Kamboj has positioned himself as a key figure advocating for the working class in the region. His involvement brings political weight to the issue and increases pressure on the current government to address the simmering discontent in one of Punjab's important industrial zones.
The coming days will reveal whether this assurance translates into concrete dialogue or leads to the promised protest movement, as the workers await action on their pressing demands.
