It is truly beyond the shadow of doubt that despite working for more than 20 years, the management has not made any serious efforts to regularise the service of casual labours. The Matter is still hanging in the air and the laxity in this regard immensely filled apprehension in the mind of the unfortunate casual labours and their families as well for the long awaited order of regularisation.
It is really incredible how much efforts you have been extended to achieve the deserved due of the casual labours and conveyed my heartiest thanks.
May god offer you ample strength to achieve the goal.
Waiting very eagerly for the long awaited reward of regularisation.
