The workers were rescued after the industrial accident at St. Peter’s and Paul’s Seafoods Exports Facility on June 21. Acting on the directions of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the Labour, Employment, Training and Skill Development Department, along with the State Migrant Workers Control Room, coordinated an extensive rescue and rehabilitation operation to ensure their safe return.
