Coronavirus: Govt School Teachers Roped in to Trace Migrant Workers
The Gujarat government school teachers provide migrant workers free ration during the unprecedented lockdown because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus has turned into a humanitarian crisis as it resulted in the exodus of migrant workers who have lost their jobs.
On Wednesday a group of teachers went to every house in Chacharavadi Vasna village near the Ahmedabad-Rajkot highway to provide food.
The Gujarat government has declared that it will provide one month's free ration to poor families.
Migrant labourers from other states will be provided free ration from fair price shops starting April 4 based on lists prepared by the district administration.
