As of May 23, 2020, within five days of commencement of this initiative, the authority had attend 100% of the 257 grievances received by it, through its Para Legal Volunteers.

The Member Secretaries of the MPSLSA, even the Judges across the State worked in tandem with the local administration and awareness was created through help desks on the rights of labourers and various  welfare measures taken by the Central/State Government for the benefits of labourers.

Pertinently, the authority is also ensuring that the migrants are not forced to walk, by providing them access to transport systems.
