The Rajasthan government has set up a panel, led by Additional Chief Secretary Subodh Agrawal, to ensure ease of travel for stranded labourers.Agrawal has been keeping a tab on movement of labourers and is in touch with other states. "It's time to ensure that every citizen is fed and reaches home without any trouble. We are monitoring labourers' movements every day. Several trains have been deployed to shift labourers. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is personally monitoring the developments and has said no one should sleep hungry," said Agrawal.The state government is taking care of travelling migrants' meals, masks and sanitizers, and is ensuring strict implementation of social distancing norm. Passengers are also being checked by medical teams on railway stations.Till now, 96,000 migrant labourers have been taken to their home states.
