COVID-19 brought to light the magnitude of labour migration. It pushed us to address the problems that internal migrants face in diverse ways.

#Pravasi | Raghav (name changed) had to enrol under the #BOCW Act for #construction workers. But his name was spelt differently on his #Aadhaar and #PANcard. He did not know where to get his Aadhaar updated from. The construction site he worked on was located on the outskirts.

[India Migration Now @NowMigration]

The latest issue of Pravasi is out now! Since July, the Chalo Network team has been documenting the experiences and challenges around Aadhaar updates. You can read the third and final part here https://t.co/8XnpqsMitl

MCD & Delhi Gov must answer why a building without NOC for industrial use and no fire clearance was operating illegally in the first place. Are costs of compliance greater than workers' lives?

These fire hazards are not by 'accident' but by design.

"We no longer have criminal tribes or excluded districts. We have, instead, 'illegal migrants' and 'disturbed areas.'"
A very interesting essay, with lots of historical insights on preventive detention laws in India

The Citizenship Amendment Bill. Denial of bail to accused in the Bhima Koregaon and Delhi Riots cases. The executive’s almost complete capture of the state’s institutions.

Our latest newsletter asks this very question, as we navigate the #eShram registration process!

[India Migration Now @NowMigration]

This month, on our #newsletter Gotta, Keep On Movin' find out whether the #eShram portal is centring migrants.

'Migrants in informal employment often have informal forms of protection but are in a position of hyper-precarity since they don't have claims on formal protection.' - @priyadeshingkar speaks on the context of migration and informality.
