The Municipal Corporation of Dehradun (MCD) has provided the list of daily wagers from the municipal wards of the city to the district administration in order to provide them necessary supplies during the state-wide lockdown.
Recently, Dehradun mayor Sunil Uniyal 'Gama' had asked the councillors of 100 wards to prepare the lists of daily wagers who are unable to afford essential supplies during the lockdown period. According to the mayor, there are more than 3,000 destitute people in 60 of the city’s wards. He said, "We have received the lists from about 60 wards so far through the councillors.
As per the lists, there are about 3,000 daily wagers in these wards.
The lists from these wards have been sent to the district magistrate and the administration will soon provide the essential supplies probably after scrutinising the said lists."
He further added that the list of daily wagers from the wards helps to identify those labourers who are not registered and might miss the help and support of the government in such a critical situation.
