The State Government has directed district Collectors to ensure safety of women and girls at the camps for migrants labourers during the lockdown.
Labour and ESI Department Secretary Anu Garg has written a letter to the Collectors in this regard. The Collectors have also been asked to utilise trained counsellors available in the districts for psychosocial counselling of those staying at the camps.
In order to resolve the language barrier for communicating with the migrant labourers of other States, the Collectors have been directed to identify people of their communities in the districts who could converse with them in their languages.
Proper sanitisation at the camps, especially toilets, provision of soaps, masks, sanitisers, mosquito nets, provision of sanitary napkins, etc., through NGOs/CSR have also been emphasised by Garg.
