Chief Minister (CM) of the State of Uttar Pradesh (UP) Yogi Adityanath on Saturday (28 March) issued directives for officers to ensure mandatory quarantine of about a lakh individuals who have returned to the State in past three days, reports Hindustan Times.
To accomplish the massive quarantine directive issued by CM Adityanath, the CM's Office has sensitised the Village Pradhans in over 60,000 Village Panchayats of the State, also providing them the details of the persons who are to be quarantined.
CM Adityanath, who has been supervising the implementation of the Corona Action Plan to contain the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the state, also directed the local authorities to put up a notice at the residence of the persons to be quarantined or at the gates of their respective housing society to ensure compliance.
The directions were issued after CM Adityanath had in a similar meeting held a day before worked out the plan to provide bus based transportation to workers in transit from other states.
He also added that food should be provided through community kitchens to the poor, labourers and homeless by seeking cooperation from NGOs and religious organisations.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
