Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Labour Minister T.P. Ramakrishnan has said that the government would ensure that migrant workers enjoy the same rights and privileges as Kerala-born workers. Inaugurating a medical camp organised by the Labour Department for migrant workers near the Technopark campus here on Wednesday, Mr. Ramakrishnan said the government would provide each migrant worker who becomes a member of its new health insurance scheme Rs.15,000 worth of free medical care and, in the event of the member’s death, pay his next of kin Rs.50,000 ex gratia assistance.
