New Delhi, May 4: The Delhi government on Wednesday announced that it will provide free bus passes to almost 10 lakh construction workers in the national capital, a measure that will help nearly 10 lakh individuals. Manish Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, said, "All construction labourers earlier had to spend somewhere between Rs 1000 to Rs 3000 per month for travel. Now the government has decided to make bus travel free for such labourers. This will benefit about 10 lakh labourers in the state." The Deputy CM further said on Twitter, "It is the effort of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that the labourers including masons, painters, welders, carpenters, electricians, guards and other workers should be given maximum assistance."
