COVID - 19 UPDATES
Highlighting the issue related to possible
infection spreading to villages, the Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has
on Sunday appealed the migrant laborers to maintain status quo, instead of
making hue & cries. If they fail, possibilities of spreading the dieses
across the villages cannot be ruled out, Kejriwal said.
Emphasizing on extending all possible
helps to the needy, especially financial help, Kejriwal said the citizens must
think over conditions of their families and friends and help them checking the
virus in all possible ways.
\Scared of job loss due to ongoing
lockdown that may stuck them into financial crisis in days to come, a large
chunk of laborers fleeing from the Delhi and suburban to their native
places.
On the other hands, section of
laborers claimed that they were vacated by their landlords.
Meanwhile, the union government has
appealed the landlords not to demand room rent from the laborers, at least for
a month.
“The government will take action
against those found harassing the laborers in the name of room rents”, the
Government said in its order released on Saturday.
The Delhi chief Minister however
claimed that he had made appropriate arrangements including food and lodging
for the laborers.
