The government has decided that the migrant construction workers not registered under the Odisha Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board will be covered by Rs.1 lakh ex-gratia in case of accidental death during their employment.
They would also get assistance up to Rs.50,000 to meet treatment cost in case of grievous work related injuries outside the state, said the chief minister.
