NEW DELHI: Industries should reach out to the home state of migrants and district administrations where the plants are based to bring back workers, MSME and transport minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said, adding industries have resumed operation with limited capacity.
Though Gadkari named the recycling industry while talking about bringing back migrant workers, he indicated that others can follow suit.
Addressing the media after the Union Cabinet meeting, the minister said migrant workers constitute between 10% and 20% of the industrial workforce and not all of them have not gone back during the lockdown.
He said there are companies which have offered them food and shelter so that they don't feel the need to leave for their homes.
