With the fear of lockdown looming large over Maharashtra, migration of migrant workers has started. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed the authorities concerned to ensure all facilities to the migrant labourers returning to the state.
Participating in a meeting to take stock of the current Covid situation in the state, the chief minister directed Team 11 officials to set up quarantine centres at the earliest in all those districts that were reporting return of migrant workers.
Yogi Adityanath also instructed the officials to make proper arrangements for Covid testing and quarantining of migrant workers, as well as their food.
Furthermore, the chief minister has asked the nodal officers and local committees of different districts to coordinate with their respective district magistrates in this regard and ensure all facilities to the returnees.
The government had taken care of the daily needs and livelihoods of millions of migrant workers who returned to the state amid nationwide lockdown last year. The government ensured that the basic needs of the workers, especially street vendors and hawkers, were provided during the pandemic. In addition to this, the UP government provided maintenance allowance to the construction workers.
