Lockdown Measures: Odisha Govt Directs Collectors To Ensure Safety Of Women In Migrant Camps

Bhubaneswar: Labour and ESI Department Secretary Anu Garg has written a letter to the Collectors to ensure the safety of women in camps for migrant workers during the lockdown. 

They have also been asked to utilise trained counsellors available in districts for psychosocial counselling of those staying at the camps.

To resolve the language barrier with workers from other states, the Collectors have been directed to identify people of their community in the districts to converse with them in their language.

Garg also emphasises on proper sanitation at the camps, especially toilets, provision of soaps, masks, sanitisers, mosquito nets, provision of sanitary napkins etc. through NGOs/CSR initiatives.
