more-inThe district has been cured of the plague of Nokkukooli, at least theoretically. Trade unions have agreed to put an end to the abominable practice of taking wages without work in the name of Nokkukooli and also the practice of unions supplying workers to various sectors. The consensus was reached at a meeting convened by District Collector K. Mohammed Y. Safirulla and District Labour Officer Muhammed Siyad to convey to the unions the decision on Nokkukooli taken at a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister recently. Accordingly, strict restrictions will be placed on unhealthy tendencies like Nokkukooli and supply of workers in the district from May. The district is home to various modern projects, and the cooperation of workers is critical to its industrial growth, the Collector observed.
