In response to concerns over labour exploitation and illegal migration, authorities in Goa have directed the police to conduct verification checks on all labourers employed at construction sites across the state. This proactive measure aims to ensure compliance with labour laws and safeguard the rights of workers in the construction industry.

The directive underscores the government's commitment to combating labour exploitation and ensuring the welfare of migrant workers in the state. By mandating verification checks, authorities seek to crack down on illegal labour practices and promote ethical employment standards within the construction sector.

The verification process will involve scrutinising documents and records to verify the identity and legal status of labourers working at construction sites. Authorities will also collaborate with relevant agencies to address any instances of labour violations or human trafficking.

This initiative reflects Goa's proactive approach to upholding labour rights and promoting a fair and transparent working environment in the construction industry. By enforcing stringent verification measures, authorities aim to create a level playing field for all stakeholders while safeguarding the interests of workers.

Overall, the directive to verify labourers at construction sites underscores the importance of regulatory oversight and enforcement in protecting vulnerable workers and upholding labour standards. It represents a step forward in the government's efforts to promote ethical labour practices and combat exploitation in the construction sector.
