Regarding the safety net, you have spoken about Rajiv Gandhi Safety Net, Rashtriya Bheema Yojana, employment allowance and others. The Minister has suggested concrete cases. The workers, whose industries or units are closed, should be give free education. The fee should be waived the loan should be waived and they should be given minimum nutrition because it is not only it is the case of students having mid-day meals but they should also be given ration cards and free ration and one year employment allowance as has been proposed, but which is not being given. My experience is there is an industry called Dunlop India Limited, who has resorted to suspension of work for no reason. They have nothing to do with the present crisis and they are not paying their dues. Similarly, may I ask the Labour Minister, the management, the employers who are depriving the workers of their dues in respect of committed dues, statutory dues they should be called and told that if they do not fulfil their commitment as per the amendment, they will be punished according to the laws of the land? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement made by the hon. Labour Minister suffers from serious complacency. The situation is very grim and it merits urgent and immediate action on the part of the Government to alleviate the sufferings of the working people, both in the organized and unorganized sectors. Without going into the details, I associate myself with the questions put forward by my colleagues Shir Gurudas Dasgupta and Shir Rupchand Pal and I hope that the Government will be alive to the situation and take the Central Trade Unions and the State Government into confidence so that we could overcome the crisis. Shri Rupchand Pal and Shri Santasri Chatterjee for raising this very important issue.
