Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government will provide job loan to migrant workers who have returned to their native place during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Informing the media on Wednesday, Labour Minister Susanta Singh said that as per data provided by the Home Department, about 43,000 migrant Odias have returned to their native place during the second wave.
