Important order of Supreme Court on migrant laborers - send home in 15 days, go back for lockdown violation cases


Posted on 9th Jun 2020 12:24 pm by rohit kumar

Due to the lockdown, the Supreme Court has given an important order on Tuesday about migrant workers stranded in various states across the country. The court said that the migrant laborers should be sent back to their homes within 15 days.

 

The Supreme Court said in the order, "All the cases under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 should be withdrawn against the workers who were allegedly violated during the lockdown."

 

The court has asked the Center and the states to prepare a list for identifying migrant laborers in a systematic manner. The court has also asked the governments to give relief to the workers on the issue of employment by skill mapping.

 

In the last days of March, the central government implemented a nationwide lockdown to prevent the corona virus, which was increased to 30 June. However, Unlock-1 has also been implemented since June 1. Due to lack of employment during the lockdown, lakhs of laborers were trapped. After this, many laborers started walking to their homes on foot.

 

However, later on May 1, the Central Government started operating Shramik Special trains for migrant laborers. Railways had claimed that lakhs of laborers have been transported to their homes through these trains so far.

 

More than 37 lakh workers were transported to homes

 

At the same time, in the month of May, the Railways ran about 2,818 special labor trains, through which more than 37 lakh migrant workers have been brought to their destination. 80 percent of them traveled to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Railways had informed that out of 2,818 laborers special trains, 565 are on the way and 2,253 trains have reached their respective destinations. The Railways ran an average of 260 trains daily in the last four days and transported nearly three lakh passengers to the destination.
