PRESS STATEMENT
 
 
AILU demands -
 
It is the duty and responsibility of the Central government to facilitate travel of inter State - migrant labourers to their home States during this Covid period. 
 
Only on consistent and persistent requests & pressure from the States the Central government conceded to arrange special trains for their travel. But Central government is not meeting the expenses for ticket fare or food. This is highly unjust & inhumane. For the last two months they are with out work and livelihood. 
 
Central government shall not shift the burden on the States struggling for containing Covid-19 without sufficient &adequate assistance from the Central government. 
 
AILU  demands the Central government to arrange sufficient trains for the travel of inter State migrant workers to their home states free of cost; the Central government shall meet all the expenses, including ticket fare and food.
