The Union Labour and Employment Ministry on Tuesday reactivated the 20 control rooms it had set up in April 2020 to help migrant workers, in the wake of increasing COVID-19 cases and lockdowns announced by many States.
Labour and Employment Secretary Apurva Chandra said an order had been issued to restart the control rooms to help workers returning to their home States from cities, as had happened during the nationwide lockdown in March last year. He said officials of the Office of the Chief Labour Commissioner would be in charge of the control centres in various States.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour and Employment Ministry on Thursday recommended making the closed state-owned jute mills functional through modernisation with local and foreign financing.
The parliamentary panel requested the government to take necessary steps in this regard, said an official release of the Parliament Secretariat.
It also suggested taking effective steps to revive the state-owned Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) and make it a profitable organisation.
At the meeting, the committee also recommended providing overall cooperation to the workers of the closed jute mills in amending their national identity card and paying all the dues of the terminated workers by withdrawing or settling the cases on an emergency basis.
