STAFF REPORTERGUWAHATI: With their demand to not codify the Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Act, 1996, the Sadou Asom Nirman Sramik Union (SANSU) staged a protest at Guwahati Club on Monday. The protesters claimed that the central government is trying to vanish the particularity of the Building and Other Construction Workers' (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 by trying to add it with some other workers welfare act. The union said, “As, this act is different from other acts in terms of its practical manner, so adding this act with some other workers welfare act will make it lost its particularity. SANSU claimed that the construction workers have a distinct act that was enacted in 1996 and on the basis of that act the construction workers of Assam are being registered since 2010. The workers are getting some sorts of benefits through this act and codification of this act will disrupt its particularity..
