This initiative is one of our way focusing on the society, construction workers are the key people behind our beautiful houses and all the huge establishments where we work. They have been working 24/7 most of the time making sure to meet the target of the contractors and to deliver the project on time thus I believe that this is the time to compensate them. I am very proud with the level of commitment and enthusiasm my colleagues has extended during the preparation and distribution of the care packages to the labourers.
