Dear friends,

Sharing an analysis of over 500 state orders that has been done for 28 
states and one UT (Delhi) across the informal sector (till May 3rd) to 
assess the safety nets announced and to engage better with policies and 
suggest ideas to improve the Governmental response to COVID - 19. The 
well summarised report captures policy recommendation across informal 
groups, benefits mentioned for each informal population group by state 
governments, voices of the community in response to the circulars and 
safety benefits received.

The document titled - (Seeking Justice for the Informal Sector during 
the COVID-19 Lockdown: An analysis of government relief measures for the 
informal sector during the lockdown) is attached and link provided. This 
is a working document and is done by the IGSSS (Urban) team. I am 
sure workers groups, collectives, movements, journalists and different 
authorities will find it useful.
