UP evacuates students, but labourers are stuck

The Uttar Pradesh government sent some 250 buses to Kota to bring home more than 8,000 students stuck in entrance exam coaching hub in Rajasthan, Hindi newspaper Bhaskar reported. UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was praised for this, but people are asking why couldn’t his government bring home labourers stuck in parts of the country. Instead, the workers have been asked to stay wherever they are. The students ran a hashtag #SendBackHome on Twitter for two days to catch attention. Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot was in touch with Adityanath and to avoid protests, like those by workers in Mumbai. Gehlot also said he is in touch with the Centre and would make arrangements to send back the migrant workers once he gets permission.
