Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court issued directions to the Central Government for the development of a registration portal for unorganized labourers and migrant workers, emphasizing the need for timely completion of the National Data Base for Unorganised Workers (NDUW) project. The court mandated that the registration process be completed by December 31, 2021, to ensure that migrant workers can access welfare schemes. Additionally, the court directed the Central Government to facilitate the distribution of food grains to migrant labourers as per the demands of the States and Union Territories.
