Recognising the role of inter-state migrants in sustaining the economic activities in the state, the State showed foresight in its efforts. While the State has not accorded the inter-state migrants the status of citizens, it duly planned for provisioning of their welfare. These efforts will certainly bring hope among the beleaguered inter-state migrants and serve as an exemplar for other states regarding the management of the human costs of the pandemic and the lockdown imposed on the citizenry.
