Punjab BJP President Demands Establishment of ESIC Sub-Regional Office in Bathinda

Millions of insured workers, pensioners, and employers in the Malwa region to benefit

Punjab BJP State President Kewal Singh Dhillon has written to Union Labour and Employment Minister Mansukh L. Mandaviya, demanding the establishment of a Sub-Regional Office of the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) in Bathinda.

Kewal Singh Dhillon forwarded a representation received from the ESIC Employees’ Union, Punjab Region, Chandigarh, to the Union Minister and extended his full support to the demand. He said there has been a long-standing need for an ESIC Sub-Regional Office in Punjab’s Malwa region.

He said that lakhs of insured persons, pensioners, employers and other beneficiaries from Bathinda, Mansa, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Barnala, Faridkot, Fazilka and adjoining areas have to depend on offices located far away for ESIC-related work. As a result, they have to spend additional time and money and, at times, also face difficulties in accessing essential services.

The Punjab BJP State President appealed to the Union Minister to approve the establishment of an ESIC Sub-Regional Office in Bathinda, keeping in view the convenience and interests of workers, pensioners, employers and other beneficiaries in the Malwa region.

He said that once the office is established in Bathinda, a large number of people in the Malwa region will be able to access ESIC services closer to their homes and will be relieved of the need to make repeated visits to distant offices.
