MORE than 2000 workers from 32 different labour camps across Bahrain took part in the 10th Annual Workers Day, held by the Indian Ladies Association (ILA).
Titled Dil Se (From the Heart), it was part of a string of activities held this year as part of the ILA’s Golden Jubilee celebrations, under the theme Building Bridges of Friendship.

Workers from the Al Ameen Contracting Company performed a Rajasthani dance and another group performed a medley of Indian folk songs.
They were also served with a lavish dinner by the organisers and a large birthday cake was cut for those whose birthdays fell this month.
Chief guest was Indian Ambassador Balkrishna Shetty, who addressed the workers and congratulated the ILA for being the only organisation in Bahrain organising events of this magnitude and enthusiasm for workers.
