<h1>Panchayat resolutions restricting migrants' residency and documents challenge constitutional rights, raising discrimination and due process concerns</h1> Following the murder of a child allegedly by an out-of-state migrant, local panchayats adopted resolutions restricting migrants' residency and document attestation, prompting a labour union to call those measures unconstitutional while demanding capital punishment for the accused. Police have formed teams to verify migrants' identities and require landlords to submit tenant details, preparing a proforma to record Aadhaar and other documents and warning of action on criminal backgrounds. Victim's representatives seek mandatory police clearances for migrant employment and proposals to restrict migrants' access to identity documents and land. The measures raise potential legal issues of discrimination, due process and constitutionality of local bodies' restrictions.
