As additional new activitieshave been permitted in the consolidated revised guidelines with effect from April 20, migrant workers can now be engaged in industrial, manufacturing, construction, farming, and MNREGA works.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) for the movement of stranded labour within State/UTs. According to this, migrant labourers currently residing in relief/shelter camp in States and UTs, should be registered with the local authority concerned and their skill mapping be carried out to find out their sustainability for various kinds of works.
“In the event that a group of migrants wish to return to their place of work, within the State where they are presently located, they will be screened and those who are asymptomatic would be transported to their place of work,” it said.
It further added that there shall be no movement of labour outside the State/UT from where they are currently located.
