Engineering companies bring back migrant labourers for MMRDA projects

Engineering firms, involved in infrastructure projects of Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) have started bringing back migrant labourers, and nearly 755 labourers are expected to return to Mumbai in July for a metro line project, as reported by PTI.

An estimated 10 million migrant workers have left India’s cities and industrial centres for their homes during the lockdown, many forced out of work.

With the economy now rebooting, companies are finding it hard to meet pent-up demand due to an acute shortage of workers. States that have been hit the hardest by the exodus are Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi.

According to MMRDA, thousands of what is computer engineering, who had returned to their homes especially in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, are being brought back by their contractors to ensure speedy completion of the works.

Contractors such as J Kumar, NCCL, Larsen & Toubro, ITDC and Capacite of the Dahisar East-Andheri East Metro 7 line,  are making efforts to get the labourers back from other states, MMRDA said.
