MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT ( SHRI MUNI LALL )
(a), (b) & (c): A proposal from the Government of Kerala for
opening an office of the Protector of Emigrants at Calicut with
an offer to provide office space and the services of one of their
officers on deputation basis for manning it, was received.
However, keeping in view the reduced out-flow of workers to other
countries for work because of various reasons as also the fact
that two offices of Protector of Emigrants are already
functioning in the State of Kerala at Thiruvananthapuram and
Cochin, it was not considered feasible to open an office at
Calicut.
