" "The observance of 1st of May � commonly known as the international workers day is a conscious effort of the world community to generate realization about importance of labour, securing rights of labourers and to educate the societies on the importance of dignity of work," he added.

The tradition � continuing as a regular annual feature, the Governor said, dates back to the historic event of Chicago wherein the workers of the time had laid their lives for the just cause of dignity of work.

The Governor said, while sharing the common goals with the rest of the world community, we as responsible members observe the day with due respect and solidarity to the cause. It is the day to affirm the commitment to secure the just rights of the working community.
