BENGALURU: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday continued attending a series of meetings with ministers and officials of various departments to discuss about the Budget for 2022-23. The CM held meetings with concerned ministers, officials from departments including Labour, Social Welfare, Transport, Large and Medium-scale Industries, and Agriculture, among others.
Speaking to The New Indian Express, Labour Minister Shivaram Hebbar said that labourers and workers can expect schemes or initiatives expected to better their livlihood, while official sources said that they have proposed to provide housing (transit) facilities for migrant workers.
