Aizawl, Oct 9: In a bid to curb labourers from other states, Mizoram government has imposed Inter-state Migrant Workmen Act and Contract Labour Act.

Commissioner for Labour and Employment T B C Rozara said strict enactment and implementation of the laws has become mandatory to curb the illegal inter-state migration of non-Mizo labourers into Mizoram.

He also added that the two Laws such as the Contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 and The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979, would be implemented shortly.

They had been laid in the last Assembly session and for which the Notification has already been released, he said.

While explaining the new laws, the Commissioner said this act would make registration compulsory for each and every non-Mizo labourer entering Mizoram, besides obtaining Inner Line Permit (ILP).

The contractors here hiring the workers from other states should to see to that each labourer working under them is registered for a Work Permit under the Labour and Employment Office. The validity of the Work permit will, however, depend on that of the ILP issued to them, he added.

The Commissioner pointed out that the implementation of the new labour laws will go a long way in maintaining correct and proper identification, registration and regulation of the entire labour force within the state.

Following the implementation of the new laws, the post of Director, Labour and Employment will be redesignated as Labour Commissioner and the posts of District Employment Officers as well as Employment Officers will henceforth be redesignated as Registering Officers, he said.
