The Uttar Pradesh government s working on modalities to set up the commission to provide jobs and social security to migrant workers returning to the state made a U-Turn on its announcement two days earlier of needing permission from the state for engaging its workers. It said that it would not incorporate, in the migration commission bye-laws, the ‘prior permission’ clause for states seeking to employ manpower from UP. The migration commission has been named ‘Kamgar/shramik (sewajojan and rozgar) kalyan ayog (Workers/labourers employment welfare commission). About 26 lakh migrants have already returned to the state and an exercise to map their skills is being carried out to help them get jobs. The chief minister Yogi Adityanath stated “There will be no provision requiring other states to seek UP government’s prior permission for employing our manpower. We will also link the migrants to the government schemes to provide them houses and loans etc,” said a senior officer, who didn’t want to be named. A letter should be sent to all state governments to find out about migrant workers willing to come back to Uttar Pradesh.”
