DIMAPUR: As per the direction of the Union Ministry of Labour and Employment, The Nagaland State Labour Department has opened a facilitation centre in the office of the assistant labour commissioner in all the respective districts in order to facilitate migrant workers.
The department opened the facilitation centre as huge displacement of inter-state migrant workers is taking place all over the country owing to the present pandemic situation.
It asked all inter-state migrant workers who have come from other states and presently working in Nagaland and who have been working in other states and have returned to the State (returnees) to register themselves in the facilitation centre of the district in which the worker is currently working/returned.
The department also asked employers to help their employees register with the registered facilitation centre.
It said only those who are registered in the facilitation centre will be considered for assistance whenever required.
