Labourers are the one who enjoy the fruits of their own hard work to the least extent. It could have been just another day job for Kochi Metro labourers. They could have taken their daily wage, had meals two times a day and then got ready to leap on other contractual construction job. But they were fortunate that they lent their hard work to Kochi Metro. When the construction work came to end for Kochi Metro, the authorities decided to make the farewell special for the workers. Absolutely, if it hadn’t been for their hard work, the project could’ve been just a distant work.
The Kochi Metro Rail Corporation invited the migrant workers to lunch on Monday. And not only this, they were also asked to dance at their own farewell party. A message board was also provided for the labourers to scribble their heart out. The neon-clad workers were more than just overjoyed. They never received such a warm farewell ever in their lives. It was a day of their life!
