The Chief Minister asked the officials to arrange to counsel returnee migrants or migrants working in any part of the country. The state control room reported that from January to June 2021, 4828 migrants, who contacted the state migration control room, were counselled. After understanding their issues every possible help was provided to them. Till date, more than 4,73,257 migrant labourers were counselled through the state control room. This initiative helped our labourers have a sigh of relief.

*"With the objrctive of helping our migrant labourers during the spread of Covid-19 and nationwide imposed lockdown, we had started a state migration control room. But, now this initiative has turned into a mission and the government aspires to transform and upgrade the working condition of our labour force while ensuring that no one ever gets the courage to violate the rights of our labour force. The control room is functional with multiple helpline numbers starting from the calling facility to WhatsApp support. Our government will never let the guards down when it comes to helping our poor population and labour force."*
