In an unprecedented move, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, has asked the state officials to bring back labourers from the state who have been stranded in different parts of the nation. He has directed the officials to make a plan for the execution of this.
Asking the officers present during the meeting, the CM ordered them to prepare a list of such labourers across different states and make efforts to bring them back. However, only those who have undergone a compulsory 14-day quarantine period shall be eligible to return.
They shall be brought to the UP border from where they shall be taken to their respective districts.
“The labourers, after being brought up to UP border by the states concerned after screening and testing, will be sent to their villages. But first, they will be kept in quarantine in their districts for 14 days. For this, arrangements should be made and the places should be sanitised,” the chief minister said.
Here, they shall be quarantined for another 14 days before being sent home after being provided rations and Rs 1000.
The CM further reviewed the situation across all hospitals in the state and enquired about the situation relating to the Personal Protection Equipment and other items. Officers are also being deputed to districts where more than 20 cases have been reported.
