The Ministry of Home Affairs on Sunday said that migrant labourers living in shelters and relief camps during the nationwide lockdown must register with local authorities to find out their suitability for various jobs. This came ahead of the lifting of restrictions on certain economic activities in non-hotspots on April 20. The ministry added that inter-state travel of migrant workers will not be allowed. The home ministry issued a standard operating procedure to the states and Union territories for the movement of stranded labourers. “Since additional new activities, outside the containment zones, have been permitted in the consolidated revised guidelines with effect from 20th April 20, these workers could be engaged in industrial, manufacturing, construction, farming and MNREGA works,” the home ministry said in its advisory to the states and Union Territories.
