COVID 19: West Bengal Govt Takes a Step To Help Labourers Affected By Lockdown
Associations and organizations have stepped up to help the migrant workers in WB, providing food following a token-based system.
S Ghosh, president of the Posta Bazar Merchant Association, said meals were being arranged twice a day.
"We have to ensure that they get food because the shops are closed and so is the market," he said.
The police are making sure precautionary measures are followed when food is distributed.
"We are here to ensure that social distancing is being maintained," said ACP Debashis Chakraborty. "Our officers from the local police station are here to help us do the same."
