Description
The Maharashtra state labour department’s proposal to create a specialised overseas employment cell, which was submitted six months ago, has been gathering dust in Mantralaya. The cell would keep a tab on the number of migrant workers that go abroad and deal with their issues on a regular basis. Even though the state sends a small number of migrant workers, including semi-skilled and unskilled workers such as construction workers, domestic help and drivers, abroad (compared to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Kerala), there is no state-level monitoring authority for them. A major chunk of these workers go to Gulf countries.
