Sir: Unfortunately, the government has failed to provide proper protection to the labourers who are engaged in different parts of the country for various construction projects. The recent attack on labourers in Turbat, which resulted in the killing 20 of them, is an indication of no security protection for labourers. According to official sources, only eight Levies personnel were present at the work place. Surely it is the responsibility of the government, federal and provincial, to ensure their safety in the work place.AKHTAR ALIKech
