Dear All, Please find the below Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- A new deal for people with disabilities needed in budget. India enacted a law to protect the interests of migrant workers in 1979 with all good intentions. It ensured fair and decent conditions of employment along with the licensing of contractors who employ migrant workers, said details of all migrant workers should be provided to the relevant authorities and had a host of other good features. Yet this country saw the utter misery of the migrant workers during the Covid lockdown, with thousands marching home on foot with nothing to hang on to except their miserable belongings. The law failed, as none in the Central or state governments ever bothered to implement the law. Did the MPs raise this issue after this grave tragedy? Unhappily, no. Has the government announced any radical changes in the law and punished officers who failed to implement it? Not so far.
