"Work is victory" – nice slogan, but let's see some concrete welfare measures. Workers on construction sites need proper housing, healthcare, and education for their kids. Photo ops are fine, but implementation matters more. 🤔

Finally a Delhi CM who understands that labourers aren't just voters but contributors to our city's growth. The Sant Nirankari Hospital project is important too. Hope she visits more such sites regularly, not just on Labour Day. 🇮🇳

Labour Day should be more than just speeches. We need enforcement of building codes and timely payment of wages. Many workers in Delhi still face exploitation. Respectful gesture by CM, but let's hold the government accountable for their rights. 💪

Impressive outreach by the Delhi CM. In many countries, Labour Day is just a day off. Seeing a Chief Minister interact with construction workers personally shows respect for the working class. Hope this sets a precedent for other states too.

It's good that the CM acknowledged workers' contribution. But real change happens when construction sites have proper sanitation, drinking water, and safety gear. These basics are still lacking in many areas of Delhi. I hope the government walks the talk. 🏗️
