Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has said that about 90% of the crimes in the coastal State are committed by migrant labourers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and other areas, urging contractors to obtain "labour cards" before employing them.
Mr. Sawant made the claim at a Labour Day function on May 1 in Panaji.
The Chief Minister said that every migrant labourer working in the State should have a labour card given by the State Government.
