Description
The presence of inter-State migrant workers in every job sphere has thrown up a range of health and hygiene issues. The State had an estimated 25 lakh migrant workers. The poor living conditions and poorer sanitation facilities in the largely unhygienic places where these workers lived necessitated urgent intervention by the Health Department and local bodies. The number of migrant workers had grown phenomenally since, Mr. Pai said. Pradeep Kumar Pradhaan from Odisha, in Kannur for nearly four years now, had lived with five other migrant workers from that State in a room hardly the size of a normal bedroom at Thalikkavu here. All of them worked in the construction sector. They cooked and slept in the small room. Conversing in broken Malayalam, he expressed no complaints about his work or his living condition.
