The Governor complimented all workers in all lands for their contribution to structural, economic and social progresses all over the world. The development of all institutions and the people is the direct result of the sweat and toil of the workers.

Citing the ongoing pandemic, Khandu expressed concern over the fact that it affects the working class the most and assured government support as and when needed.
“I appeal to my working class brothers and sisters, who are vulnerable to the Covid 19 virus being extended frontline workers, to adhere to all Covid related protocols for their own and their family’s safety. I assure you that the government is keeping watch over the situation in the state and will support our working class through thick times if it comes knocking,” he said.
While advising all to avoid gatherings and celebrations as per SoPs circulated by the district administrations, he called upon all to celebrate the special day by expressing gratitude to the working class from the confines of their homes.
