| Deploy additional shramik special trains to evacuate stranded labourers: Harsh | | Provide proper food, water, medicines to quarantined people in J&K” | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, May 12: “With the stranded labourers in other States restive and embarking upon foot marches to reach their respective States, the govt needs to respond appropriately by pressing additional shramik special trains to evacuate all such work force. It was most unfortunate that several migrant workers had died in other States during the course of transit as dozens had been crushed under trains and other motor vehicles during their journey. The said workers had resorted to such foot marches out of sheer frustration and despair in view of non-availability of requisite road or rail transport facility and lack of communication with the concerned Nodal Officers announced with much fanfare by the govt”. This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh, Chairman-JKNPP & former Minister who sat on dharna to impress upon the govt the urgency of early eviction of all migrant work force of J&K held up in other states.
Accusing the J&K Administration of lackadaisical approach in addressing the plight of languishing work force in outside States, Singh said that the desperation of the workers was growing with each passing day in view of lack of response from concerned agencies and defunct helplines.
He called for deploying addition shramik special trains for the said workers with proper SOPs and social distancing provisions.
Pointing towards the plight of the workers who had reached J&K from other States and were detained in quarantine centres, Singh called for provision of proper food and essential items including medical aid to the needy.
He said that dozens of complaints were pouring in everyday regarding unhygienic food, acute scarcity of water and necessary medicines in the said centres. He further expressed concern over the huge delay caused in conducting the medical tests of the returnees as their prolonged stay in huge numbers in one complex was fraught with inherent dangers. He called for enhanced number of Covid-19 tests with establishment of additional labs for the purpose. The control of pandemic and addressing the plight of the vulnerable people and work force needed focused attention of the govt, said Harsh. |
