Committee formed to monitor dormitories in industrial areas

Collectors told to ensure firms have good relations with their workers

The Tamil Nadu government has asked Collectors to speak to industrial units in their districts and ensure they maintain a healthy relationship with their workers.

“We have asked the Collectors to speak to companies and monitor these places constantly to maintain healthy industrial relations. We have asked them to form committees and inspect these places on various parameters such as hygiene and safety,” a senior official said.

Another official said the Kancheepuram Collector had formed a committee, and teams were visiting all the dormitories in the region. “There are many such hostels/dormitories in Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur and Kancheepuram. All of them will be closely monitored,” the official said. Most of these dormitories are college hostels.
