Labour and Employment Secretary Apurva Chandra said an order had been issued to restart the control rooms to help workers returning to their home States from cities, as had happened during the nationwide lockdown in March last year. He said officials of the Office of the Chief Labour Commissioner would be in charge of the control centres in various States.
