Bengaluru, May 5: The movement of migrant labourers from Karnataka to other states has stopped temporarily, as few North Indian states are yet to give consent.
Revenue Minister R Ashok said that the state government will convince labourers to stay back and ensure free food supply at their camps. "Even if we allow them to travel, they will be quarantined for 14 days as soon as they reach their native states.
The labourers don't know about this and some states have not yet given permission for their return," Revenue Minister R Ashok said.
According to sources in CMO, the decision to convince the workers to stay back came after several major projects - both government and private - were affected by the mass migration of labourers to their native districts and states.
Ashok, along with S Suresh Kumar, Primary and Secondary Education minister and head of the group of ministers focusing on migrant workers, also visited labourers who had gathered demanding that they be allowed to return.
Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will chair a meeting tomorrow and instruct builders under CREDAI to pay pending wages of labourers, provide food supply and ensure their safety, Ashok said, adding that all construction work by BBMP will also be taken up to help the labourers.

last week i heard one news regarding several mobiles found inside the jail?, in mangalore jail anything can happen.
this is the position of our police in india, they even cant save inmates in jail.
suicide in jail. funny!!!
would have given second chance to him.
i dont know what to comment on this but whatever happened we are happy in this case.
whatever happened should happen to everyone who rapes women.
may be he realized his mistake and punished himself.
shame on police department they cant even monitor jail inmates.
our constitution says: Is It Better That Ten Guilty Persons Go Free Than That One Innocent. this case must have some story of wrongfulness.
what will be the reason behind his suicide, may be he was wrongly inducted in this case.
