Telugu Cine Actor and Jana Sena Party (JSP) Chief Pawan Kalyan lambasted the Andhra Pradesh government over the suicide of 36 daily labourers due to scarcity of sand in the state.
The deaths of construction workers have been linked to the slump in activity in the sector caused by a change in the state's policy on sand - which is required in large quantities to help strengthen buildings and used to make both cement and concrete.
Pawan addressed a large gathering of Jana Sena Party workers in Visakhapatnam during his 'long march' against government inaction over sand scarcity.
Raising the issue, he said, “We will give two week's deadline to the state govt over the issue of construction workers' livelihood. Due to the government's mistake the daily labourers are suffering heavily. Government should give Rs 50,000 ex-gratia to each worker's family. And Rs 5 lakh to the deceased families. If the government won't react in two weeks, I would go for another march in Amaravathi. We will then see who stops us.”
