...Though the Union government had introduced the Social Security Code in 2020 to ensure them job security, not much progress was made... the State government intended to introduce a comprehensive legislation to ensure the gig workers’ service conditions, financial security, and welfare and put in place the primary employers’ and aggregators’ responsibilities...

...a model centre where gig workers could relax would be opened in the city in association with the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation so that gig workers did not have to take rest by the roadside or face difficulties owing to lack of toilet facilities.
