Telangana CM Revanth Reddy urged to form Hamali welfare board

Activists and civil society groups in Telangana have urged CM Revanth Reddy to constitute a Hamali Workers Welfare Board during the ongoing Assembly session, citing Congress’ 2023 poll promise. In a joint letter, they said the board is needed to safeguard the rights and livelihoods of over 10 lakh Hamali workers and pointed to ongoing exploitation across markets and godowns.
