Adityanath relents, states don't need permission to hire UP migrants

About 26 lakh migrants have already returned to the state and an exercise to map their skills is being carried out to help them get jobs.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath is walking back, two days after he said that permission would be needed if other states employ workers from UP.

The issue sparked a major controversy and an official spokesman has now said that the government would not include this clause of 'prior permission' in the bye-laws of the Migration Commission.

The government spokesman also said it was working on modalities to set up the commission to provide jobs and social security to migrant workers returning to the state. It has named the migration commission as the "Shramik Kalyan Aayog", the IANS reported.
