In the recently concluded Assembly session, the Revenue Minister is on record of making a statement on the floor of the House in reply to a question that the minimum wage structure in the private sector will be revised before Diwali.
With Diwali round the corner nothing seems to be forthcoming or has he succumbed to the pressures of the private sector like he did with casino lobby (100 days deadline of vacating the Mandovi River).
The private wage structure in Goa is one of the lowest in the country and then we cry from the rooftops that our youth are migrating abroad for a better standard of living as they are paid peanuts here.
Pay them at par with the public sector employees or maybe slightly lesser and one will see that migration abroad will reduce considerably. Will the concerned minister keep up to his word before Diwali?
