With the aim to keep a check on anti-social elements here, deputy commissioner R.K. Kataria has directed all labour contractors and agencies to give information to the local police station about the labourers engaged or enrolled by them.
The directions have been given under section 144 of the CrPC.
"The labourers come here in search of livelihood and there is a possibility that anti-social elements may try to hide themselves in the garb of job-seekers.
Such anti-social elements indulge in nefarious activities. So, it has become necessary for the contractors to report about the labourers engaged by them for conducting police verification."
