Order to states to provide food, lodging and treatment of laborers, homeless people

New delhi date. 28 March 2020, Saturday

There are lockdowns across the country to prevent the transmission of the Corona virus, meanwhile laborers from all states are evacuating in large numbers. The laborers are walking hundreds of kilometers with their families on their way home. Now on the fourth day of the lockdown, the Home Ministry has directed all states and Union Territories to provide adequate accommodation for the homeless people to eat, drink, live, clothes, cure, etc., including these traveling laborers. The Center has asked states to use the funds allocated for the State Disaster Response Fund.

A spokesperson for the Union Home Ministry said that the Home Ministry directed all states and Union Territories to provide temporary accommodation, food, clothes, clothing, medical supplies, food for all homeless people, including tourist laborers, who were trapped due to lockdown with SDRF fund money.

Not to mention, all transport equipment is closed due to lockdown. Workers in the city, unorganized sector workers and the poor from other states are also beginning to worry about why they will manage to eat during the lockdown because their jobs have been stripped, so laborers are migrating to their homeland.
