Devendra Nath Mahto Urges Jharkhand Government to Form Migrant Workers’ Welfare Commission

Ranchi : Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) Central Senior Vice-President Devendra Nath Mahto has urged the Jharkhand government to establish a Migrant Workers’ Welfare Commission to protect the rights and improve the welfare of workers from the state employed in other parts of the country.

Mahto made the demand while addressing a Pravasi Shramik Samvad (Migrant Workers’ Dialogue) programme held at Bharatvan Garden in Andheri East, Mumbai, on Thursday. The event was jointly organised by the Jharkhandi Ekta Sangh and the Vishwakarma Puja Committee, Mumbai.

The programme brought together auto-rickshaw drivers, workers employed in hotels and restaurants, and people working in various other sectors. Participants discussed migration, employment opportunities, workers’ rights and growing competition for jobs across different industries.

Addressing the gathering, Mahto said the migration of workers from Jharkhand reflected the state government's failure to generate sufficient employment opportunities locally. He pointed out that despite Jharkhand's rich natural and mineral resources, many people continued to travel to other states in search of livelihoods.

He also praised the hard work, skills and professional abilities of Jharkhand's migrant workers, saying they had established a strong presence in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai.

Mahto called for the formation of a dedicated Migrant Workers’ Welfare Commission to provide better protection, support and welfare measures for workers from Jharkhand living and working outside the state.

The programme also witnessed enthusiasm among participants over their Jharkhandi identity and cultural roots. The workers felicitated Mahto with the title “Dishum Veer Babu” and presented him with his photograph as a mark of respect.

Sadarul Sheikh, Taj Hasan Ansari, Santosh Kumar, Bhim Gupta, Jhari Pandit, Asgar Khan and other committee members played an active role in organising the event.

The dialogue provided a platform for migrant workers to share their concerns and discuss measures to improve employment prospects and safeguard their rights.

CRS Inspects Newly Built Neura–Jat Dumri Rail Line, Neura–Sheikhpura Project Moves Towards Completion

Hajipur(Sneha Chourasia): The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) inspected the newly constructed Neura–Jat Dumri railway section, covering approximately 20 kilometres, on October 8 under the Danapur Division’s Neura–Daniyawan new rail line project. Following the inspection, a successful speed trial was conducted from Jat Dumri to Neura using a special train at a speed of 120 kmph.

With the CRS inspection of the Neura–Jat Dumri section, the Neura–Sheikhpura new rail line project has reached a significant milestone. The new line is expected to serve as a bypass route for Patna, reducing the additional pressure on freight train operations through the city.

The newly constructed section connects Neura Junction, located on the Patna–Ara railway section, with Jat Dumri Junction on the Patna–Gaya railway section. Gonpura station and three halt stations—Adhapa, Chamachak and Bajidpur—have been developed along the route.

The project includes the construction of three major bridges, 16 minor bridges, five Limited Height Subways (LHS), two Road Over Bridges (ROBs), one Rail Over Rail (ROR) structure and 12 Road Under Bridges (RUBs).

The 42-kilometre Neura–Daniyawan new rail line project is being developed in phases. The first phase, covering 22.74 kilometres between Jat Dumri and Daniyawan, has already been completed, and train operations are underway on this section.

The Neura–Jat Dumri section forms part of the larger Neura–Daniyawan–Biharsharif–Barbigha–Sheikhpura new railway line project. Besides meeting the transportation needs of people in the region, the route is expected to improve railway connectivity and provide an alternative corridor for train movement.

The new line will function as a bypass for the heavily congested Danapur–Patna–Kiul–Jhajha main line. Its development is expected to ease pressure on the existing route, particularly from freight train operations passing through Patna.

The successful inspection and speed trial mark an important step towards the further development of railway infrastructure in Bihar.
