Don’t cross district, state lines sans passes: Gujarat DGP

AHMEDABAD: While three trains will be leaving from Gujarat, two from Ahmedabad to Agra and one from Surat to Odisha with migrant labourers, DGP Gujarat Shivanand Jha has warned people not to cross district and state borders without following the central guidelines. Jha said people caught at borders without proper passes will be booked and sent back after medical check-up.
Jha added that for travel to UP and Odisha, first preference will be given to those migrant labourers who had been staying in shelter homes set up by the state government. The rest will be allowed to leave in stages. Medical tests will be conducted before any migrant labourer is allowed to board a train. “Nodal officers have been appointed by the government for overseeing these processes,” Jha said.

Speaking about red, orange and green zones, Jha said that red zones will be monitored more closely than others. “The red zones will be condoned off so that people from red zones cannot go to orange or green zones,” Jha said.
