In order to mitigate the distress of migrant workers, the communication stresses on a number of measures that may be taken by the State governments, pro-actively in coordination with the Centre. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Operation of\u00a0<strong>more special trains<\/strong>\u00a0by pro-active coordination between States and with Ministry of Railways;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase in number of buses<\/strong>\u00a0for transporting migrants; allowing entry of buses carrying migrants at inter-state border;<\/li>\n<li>More\u00a0<strong>clarity may be given about departure of trains\/ buses<\/strong>, as lack of clarity coupled with rumours caused unrest amongst the workers;<\/li>\n<li>Arrangement of\u00a0<strong>designated rest places<\/strong>, with adequate facilities for sanitation, food and healthcare, could be made by the States on routes where migrants are known to be already travelling on foot;<\/li>\n<li>District Authorities may\u00a0<strong>guide workers<\/strong>\u00a0moving on foot to designated rest places, nearby bus terminals or railway stations by arranging transportation;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special attention<\/strong>\u00a0may be given to the specific requirements of women, children and elderly amongst the migrant workers;<\/li>\n<li>District Authorities<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>may involve<strong>\u00a0NGO<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>representatives<\/strong>\u00a0at rest places etc, to alleviate the notion of long quarantine at rest places. Workers may also be encouraged to remain at places where they are;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enlisting the migrants<\/strong>\u00a0with their addresses and contact numbers. This may be helpful in contact tracing in due course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The communication reiterates that District Authorities must ensure that no migrant worker has to resort to walking on roads or railway tracks to reach his\/her destination. They may request Ministry of Railways for running trains, as per requirement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/164.100.117.97\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/MHA%20DO%20Lr.%20Dt.%2018.5.2020%20to%20Chief%20Secretaries%20reg.%20measures%20to%20be%20taken%20in%20movement%20of%20stranded%20workers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>Click here to see Official Communication to States<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proactive coordination among States and Railways essential to run more trains for smooth transport of Migrant Workers; District Authorities must give their requirements to Railways Run more Buses, ensure their Smooth Transition across States and inter-State borders Create en-route Rest Places with basic amenities for people on foot, till they are guided to bus\/rail stations [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,21],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12035"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12035"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12036,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12035\/revisions\/12036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/udaen.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
