Description
The Meghalaya government has directed private employers and contractors to register migrant workers and obtain licence to employ them in the state by February next, failing which punitive measures will be initiated against them under relevant provisions of the Inter-state Migrant Workmen Act, 1979. "All principal employers and contractors engaging inter-state migrant workers numbering five and more in Meghalaya have to register their employees and obtain licence from the Labour Commissioner," a government release read.
