Chandigarh: Arrangements are being made to take large number of migrants from the city to their homes by train. The people who are being sent by these trains to different districts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar include the people of Bapudham Colony. By doing so, the Chandigarh administration is creating trouble for other states.

CoronavirusA large number of migrants from Bapudham Colony have been called for thermal screening at CCET in Sector-26. These people from Bapudham Colony have been sent from Chandigarh railway station in the evening in a special train to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh.

At present Bapudham is one of the most hotspot centre for coronavirus in Chandigarh. In such a scenario, calling for the repatriation of these people from Bapudham Colony could be dangerous for other passengers travelling in the train as well.

The Chandigarh administration has so far sent migrants from Bapudham Colony to seven districts of Uttar Pradesh - Moradabad, Bareilly, Shahjahanpur, Hardoi, Lucknow, Jaunpur and Sultanpur.

Only thermal screening of people being sent from the city to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is being done. The same thing is happening with about 800 migrants being sent from Bapudham to Uttar Pradesh. These people are being provided train tickets only through thermal screening.

CoronavirusIn two days from Bapudham Colony, Chandigarh, about 1000 people have been sent by labour special train to seven cities in Uttar Pradesh. No one can enter or leave the containment zone. In such a scenario, the negligence of the UT administration could weigh heavily on Uttar Pradesh.

Early in the morning, the migrants gather at the CCET in Sector-26 after which they were screened and later they were dropped off at the railway station in buses.

According to officials, no one is allowed outside the Bapudham containment zone. The people who are being sent in the train are also undergoing medical examination.
