3.However, Mr.Thangavel, learned Special Government Pleader submitted that Government is taking all steps to provide all necessary facilities to the migrant labourers. Further, Mr.G.Rajagopal, learned Additional Advocate General submitted that comprehensive directions have been given by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the same is being followed.

Hence, the State Government is directed to identify the migrant labourers who are without food, shelter and medical facilities and provide the same to them on war-footing basis and file a report in the next hearing.
