PANAJI
The Aam Aadmi Party took out a huge Rozgar Yatra in Nuvem on Monday.
A press release states that the yatra was attended by 100s of volunteers and was followed by large booth level meetings. The yatra took to the internal roads of the village and went on to booth meetings. The yatra pulled 100s of residents who registered for Kejriwal’s job guarantee. Nuvem, being in the coastal belt, has faced major issues with tourism-related unemployment due to the pandemic.
In the recent past, a large number of youths are unemployed due to the slowdown of shipping because of the pandemic. Nuvem falls on the coastal belt and this slowdown in the tourism sector has created a crisis. Particularly, there has been no attention on local employment in tourism. The taxi business is also predominant in this area. Families of taxikars have suffered due to the tourism slowdown and many are eager to support Arvind Kejriwals announced initiative of Rs 5,000 as support to those impacted in the tourism sector, the release added.
