New Delhi, Nov 29 (PTI) The government on Wednesday said it will make a unique identifier mandatory for all building and construction workers across the country to ensure that migrant workers’ rights are protected.

This identifier, which will be linked to Aadhaar and integrated into the e-Shram database, will facilitate the portability of benefits.

It doesn’t matter if anyone is in Delhi today or Mumbai tomorrow, the family’s entitlements should remain accessible, Labour Secretary Arti Ahuja said.
