After CIC rap, govt puts out ‘partial’ data on migrants
After the central information commission pulled up the government’s top labour officer last week and asked the government to create a public database for migrants, the labour ministry has put out the first batch of data for 26.17 lakh migrant labourers on the chief labour commissioner’s website. The data, however, is not as exhaustive as the labour commissioner had envisaged in his April 8 order, where the ministry had sought from its regional offices the names, age, mobile numbers, occupation, details of migrants’ current and native address, bank, Ujjawala and Aadhar details of workers.
