"Though about 3-5 lakh migrants from across the state left for their native place in special buses and trains till date since May 3 due to prolonged lockdown and suspension of public transport service, about a lakh registered on the portal expressing willingness to rejoin in the job of their skills," noted the official.
The dedicated portal will also provide ready to employ skilled in diverse sectors through their database by matching with the data on jobs available across the industry," asserted the official, "With the resumption of operations gradually keeping in view the social or physical distancing, wearing masks and using sanitisers, demand for jobs will increase when the lockdown is lifted after June 30 and normal life will be restored," the official added.
