Bihar government to launch grievance cell for its workers in Tamil Nadu

The Bihar state government has approved the creation of a grievance redressal cell aimed at assisting Bihar-origin guest workers who are employed in Tamil Nadu. The initiative is intended to provide a formal mechanism for workers to lodge complaints related to wages, working conditions, and contractual disputes. Officials said the cell will be staffed by officers familiar with both Bihar and Tamil Nadu labour regulations, ensuring swift resolution of issues. The move comes amid growing concerns over the welfare of migrant labourers from Bihar who form a significant part of the workforce in Tamil Nadu's construction and manufacturing sectors. The government has not disclosed a timeline for the cell's operational launch, but it pledged regular monitoring and coordination with Tamil Nadu authorities.
