Bhubaneswar: People from Odisha stranded in other states, who want to return home after May 3, will have to go through a 13-step registration process on a web portal to be launched on Friday. They can start registering themselves on the portal from Friday itself.
They will have to give details such as category of traveller — migrant workers, students, professionals, tourists and others — their name, age, gender, cellphone number and 12-digit Aadhaar number, current address (state, district and city), number of family members who want to return and their details, address in Odisha and contact persons in the state.
“Those who cannot register online can submit a form with the same details at the gram panchayat or ward office through a local contact. The panchayat and ward nodal officers will enter the details in the portal,” said official sources.
The detailed guideline was issued by works secretary Krishan Kumar.
Around 7.5 lakh people are expected to travel back to the state. “Nobody will be allowed to return without registration. Details have been sought through the registration process to make arrangements for their stay, food and health check-up by the administration,” said a senior government officer.
The project directors (PDs) of district rural development agencies (DRDAs) have been designated as the nodal officers to oversee the registration process.
To accommodate the people in rural areas, the state government has set up more than 7,045 temporary medical camps with 2.22 lakh beds, which will be used as a state-sponsored quarantine facility. Since the number of beds is inadequate, the panchayati raj department has asked collectors to set up more temporary medical camps in schools, college buildings, cyclone shelters and kalyan mandaps, on the outskirts of villages and habitations.
In urban areas, kalyan mandaps have been converted into temporary quarantine facilities, while people can also avail themselves of paid quarantine facilities in hotels.
