Kumud Sharma, Diary Times: Taking a decision in the interest of the employees, the Sukhu government of the ruling Congress party of Himachal Pradesh has issued a notification increasing the honorarium of a total of 4800 multi-task workers employed in the Public Works Department (PWD) by Rs 500. The multi-task workers employed in HPPWD were earlier given an honorarium of Rs 4500 per month which has been increased by Rs 500 to Rs 5000 per month by the government of ruling CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The official notification regarding the increase in the honorarium of multi-task workers by Rs 500 was notified by Surjit Singh Rathore, Additional Secretary of HPPWD on Saturday.
The decision was taken in the cabinet meeting chaired by CM Sukhu –
The ruling Congress party government of Himachal Pradesh took a positive decision in the last state cabinet meeting to increase the honorarium of 4800 multi-task workers working in HPPWD by Rs 500, after which this notification has been made effective on Saturday. Let us tell you that during the discussion on the budget of 2024-25 in the state assembly budget session held in the month of February, CM Sukhu had said that the state government will increase the honorarium of 4800 multi-task workers working in HPPWD effective this year.
PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh also updated on social media accounts –
PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh has updated the notification of increase in honorarium of multi-task workers on his social media accounts and said that positive decisions are being taken in the interest of the employees by the government led by CM Sukhu and similar beneficial decisions will continue to be taken in future.
There will be economic improvement in the lives of multi-task workers –
The decision of the Himachal Pradesh government to increase the honorarium of 4800 multi-task workers of the state by Rs 500 is going to improve their economic condition. Earlier, for many years, the multi-task workers of the state were given a monthly honorarium of Rs. 4500 at the rate of Rs. 150 per day for duty of more than 8 hours, due to which, in today’s rising inflation, the family life and responsibilities of the multi-task workers were not improving, but the increase of Rs. 500 in the monthly honorarium by the Sukhu government is going to bring some improvement, if not much.
