Goa, 1/5: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Labour Day claimed that migrant workers employed in Goa were responsible for the bulk of the crimes committed in the coastal state.
Sawant also urged employers and labour contractors in Goa to register their workers with the Labour department, so that those who abscond from Goa after committing a crime could be traced soon.
“After committing any crime here, migrant labourers go back to their state and then it becomes difficult to nab him or her. If we see the ratio, then 90 per cent of the crimes are committed by migrant labourers be it from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and from the other areas…” the Chief Minister said at a Labour Day function organised by the state government.
Sawant also urged employers and contractors to sign up their workforce for a Labour department identity card, whose contents are verified by state agencies.
