HYDERABAD: The TPCC Covid-19 Task Force organised a video conference on Sunday to discuss the issues related to migrant labourers and the unorganised sector. 

During the discussion, TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy expressed shock over the tragic death of 16 migrant labourers, who were run over by a train, near Aurangabad.

He said labourers were becoming victims of insensitivity of the Central and State governments.

There was no preparedness for the lockdown and the kind of implications it would have on the poorest of the poor, daily-wage earners and the unorganised sectors, he added.  

Meanwhile, AICC spokesperson Sravan was appointed as the convener of the sub-group under task force to look into the issue of migrant labourers in Telangana.
