The State government should ensure the safety of families of migrant workers settled in Kerala, said Maanav Migrant Welfare Foundation, an organisation working towards the welfare of migrants.

In a release issued here, the organisation said around 10% of the 30 lakh migrant workers in Kerala had their families settled here with them. Their safety is the responsibility of the government.

The organisation demanded action against all the accused in the incident in which a migrant girl was allegedly abused and killed. The absence of proper accommodation facilities for migrants and the reluctance of building owners to let their buildings to migrants posed a major problem to the community.

A resolution approved by the organisation demanded that the government promote housing projects for the migrant community. Chairman P.C. Basheer presided over the emergency executive meeting held to discuss the issue.

Meanwhile, Anwar Sadat, MLA, has written to the Chief Minister demanding a comprehensive probe into the alleged murder of the minor girl.
