Lucknow : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday directed officials concerned to do skill mapping of migrant workers so that they can be provided employment once they complete the quarantine period.
Over 20 lakh migrant workers have returned to the state in the last few days. While holding a review meeting with senior officials on the coronavirus-induced lockdown, Adityanath said skill mapping should be done in quarantine centres.
Mr. Adityanath has asked the officials to provide foodgrains to all the migrant workers in home quarantine for 15 days. They will also be given a sustenance allowance of ₹1,000 during home quarantine, an official spokesman said.

The chief minister emphasised the need for increasing the testing capacity to 10,000 tests per day and setting up one virology lab in every district. Keeping the large number in mind, he said every quarantine centre should be necessarily provided with infrared thermometer and pulse oximeters.
He has directed police to patrol border areas as well as highways and expressways following a series of road accidents in the state. He asked police to ensure strict compliance of lockdown measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
