Coronavirus Outbreak: States Respond To SOS For Helping Stranded Citizens
Migrant workers are the hardest hit in the 21-day lockdown.
The 21-day national lockdown announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this week as part of measures to curb the outbreak of the novel coronavirus has hit migrant workers the hardest.
These people who’re trying to go back home are reportedly facing obstacles in the form of lack of access to food to walking on highways for days together in the absence of any public transport.
The plight, however, has urged various state governments to coordinate and help them workers.
Here’s a compilation of tweets by chief ministers and other leaders urging their peers from other states to help them and other stranded citizens visiting other states for work or pilgrimages:

Earnestly appeal all my colleague CMs to provide basic food, accommodation & security to people from #Odisha stranded in any part of your state due to #21daylockdown.Odisha will bear the cost needed for their safe keeping who could be pilgrims, student, workers or professionals.
