Meanwhile, the Home Department of Uttar Pradesh government has asked Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi to bring 500 buses to Shahibabad in Ghaziabad and the other 500 to Noida to move the stranded migrant labourers to their home towns in Uttar Pradesh.
The UP government has also asked Priyanka Gandhi to make the buses available to the district authorities by 12 noon on Tuesday to make other necessary arrangements.
This comes after Priyanka Gandhi wrote in a letter to UP Additional Chief Secretary (Home), saying, “Migrant workers are stranded at UP border, especially Delhi-UP border. At a time when thousands of them are walking on roads and have gathered at UP border for registration, sending 1000 empty buses to Lucknow is not only waste of time and resources, but also inhumane".
The UP government had earlier asked Congress to send the 1000 buses to Lucknow after accepting their offer of help. Now the government has asked Priyanka Gandhi to send the buses to two different locations on Delhi-UP border.
The Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) hit back at the Uttar Pradesh government saying it was ready with the list of buses, as desired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, but was not getting time to meet him since the past three days.
