BJP Legislative Party leader Babulal Marandi today said that the State government officials are apathetic towards the agony of Jharkhandi people stuck outside the State.
Marandi said that the nodal officers appointed by the government are not receiving the desperate calls of people, who want to share their problems with the government. Marandi said that the CM should take cognisance of the matter and issue strict instructions for the same.
Meanwhile, the State BJP unit has also urged the government to conduct random sampling and increasing the number of investigations being conducted for the coronavirus infection. So far, only 160 investigations have been done in Jharkhand whereas 4600 people have been screened in Maharashtra. State BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev said that so far all the residents of Jharkhand are fortunate that there has not been a single case of coronavirus infection.
But, he also said that in recent times millions of Jharkhandis working from other states including Maharashtra, Kerala have returned to their State. Monitoring their health is very important and random sampling should be done among the returning people.
Pratul said that if the state government is ready to do random sampling of people returning to the State in a big way in recent times then it should start immediately.
If private labs are providing this facility in Jharkhand at the same rate, then the government should consider giving conditional permission for this by thinking on all aspects. The RAR should also prepare an action plan on the problems arising after reverse migration. Millions of people, who have returned from outside are unemployed and are sitting idle at home, he said.
