With a view to accommodating the migrant workers coming from Delhi and other states, the Uttar Pradesh government has decided to put them in quarantine in government or private accommodations before allowing them to go to their families.
A government spokesman said that these accommodations would be used as shelter homes.
“Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has given directives that people coming from Delhi or other states need to be put in quarantine for 14 days for medical check-ups. Government and private buildings could be used for quarantine,” said Shalabh Mani Tripathi, media adviser to the chief minister.
The beginning was made in Noida where the UP government took over vacant townships on Yamuna Expressway to accommodate the stranded migrant workers and their families.
“JP Sports City has been acquired to set up shelter homes for migrants. The people here will be provided clean beds, toilets and food,” District Magistrate of Gautam Buddha Nagar, BN Singh, said.
