West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday (August 29, 2025) lauded the intervention of the Supreme Court on a public interest litigation on the detention of migrant workers from the State in parts of the country and said that the development comes as a huge relief to the detained workers.
“A direction has been issued to hear the plea of the migrant workers on priority in the High Court - this comes as a huge relief to the detained workers. The recognition of Bengal’s unique context gives hope to countless Bengali-speaking workers across our motherland, whose labour and sacrifice strengthen families across India,” Ms. Banerjee posted on social media.
