After facing initial criticism for its goof-up in rescuing the migrant workers from the state returning to their villages due to lockdown, the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government is going all out to keep them comfortable and healthy in the isolation camps set up at the function halls and hotels on the inter-state borders.
On Thursday, the state government decided to extend “Jagananna Gorumudda” scheme, presently being implemented for school students as part of mid-day meals scheme, even to the migrant labourers held up in isolation camps.
Based on the direction of the chief minister, the district authorities have started following the ‘Gorumudda’ menu to ensure that they stay healthy with a continuous supply of all possible nutrients.
The migrant workers are now being provided with boiled eggs, egg curry, chickpeas, tomato dal, asparagus, pulihora, vegetable pulao, aloo kurma, and kichidi depending on the day of the week apart from rice and other constants.
The government has already been providing them with various facilities like accomodation, food, water and other essentials.
It is is also providing those stranded during the lockdown with other commodities like clothes, tooth pastes, soaps, shampoos, blankets , oil and others to ensure that their stay at the relief centers is in comfortable circumstances and goes on smoothly.
The state is taking care of 9,695 who are accomodated in the 218 relief centers out of which 3,819 belong to various districts of Andhra Pradesh while 5,876 hail from 28 states in the country with an exception of Tripura.
