Surat, March 2: The Surat District Textile Marketing Transport Labor Union submitted a memorandum to the Surat District Collector on Saturday, urging immediate financial assistance for workers affected by the recent devastating fire at Shivshakti Textile Market on Ring Road. The fire caused massive destruction, leaving traders and laborers facing severe economic losses.
Union President Umashankar Mishra and spokesperson Shaan Khan stated that over 1,000 workers were employed in the market, engaged in tasks such as parcel transportation, cutting-folding, and packaging. With the market reduced to ashes, these workers have lost their livelihood overnight, pushing them into a deep financial crisis.
The memorandum calls for urgent government intervention to provide financial relief to the affected laborers. The union emphasized the need for swift action to help the workers sustain themselves during this difficult period.
Union office bearers, including Organization Minister Shivanand Tiwari, senior members Vedprakash Dubey (Rinku Dubey), Dabbu Shukla, Pawan Kumar Tiwari, Altaf Fruitwala, Manoj Tiwari, Akhtar Sheikh, Seetasharan Upadhyay, and Ali Pathan, were present during the submission of the memorandum.
