Balwinder Singh, Labour Enforcement Officer, said: “It would be checked if the worker was registered with us or not.”“We will also take action against MC officials after initiating an inquiry in the matter,” he said. The officer added that he had called the MC officials and the contractor when they reached the site today, but no one picked the call.
