Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath continued his interaction with people and monitored arrangements for doorstep delivery of essential commodities and food to the needy so that no one starved in the state.
On Thursday morning, Yogi interacted with 60,000 gram panchayats across the state and informed them about the steps taken by the government for the 21-day lockdown to counter the spread of coronavirus.
The interaction was held from the chief minister’s official residence at 5, Kalidas Marg in Lucknow, where officials participated while maintaining social distancing.
Official sources said that the chief minister informed the village heads that over 14,000 volunteers were working round-the-clock to distribute essential commodities at people’s doorstep and more than 12,000 vans and carts had been engaged across the state to distribute the essential commodities.
Yogi Adityanath said that community kitchens had been started at hostels and other places so that stranded people did not have to go without food owing to the lockdown.
However, the chief minister directed district authorities to keep a close tab on the prices and supply of essential commodities and warned that those found involved in black-marketing or hoarding would be sternly dealt with.
