JAIPUR: So far, 2.10 lakh migrant workers in Jaipur have registered themselves to move to other states and 29,000 have registered for coming to the district.
On Monday, 25 migrant workers arrived here from Uttarakhand. Also, 200 students and migrant workers have left for Uttarakhand. Moreover, 150 students will be leaving for Andhra Pradesh and Telanaga on Tuesday. Two trains with migrant workers — 1,207 in one and 1,194 in the other — will be arriving from Maharashtra on Tuesday.
The district administration has appointed two nodal officers — Ashok Kumar and Rajesh Dogiwal — for monitoring entry of migrant workers in Jaipur and for those who are leaving for other states. It has set up check-posts at Jaipur border for screening of migrant workers coming from other districts and states.
In the rural areas, the elementary education officer will be appointed as nodal officer in gram panchayats. He will appoint a monitoring officer for each village.
“All persons will be screened and examined by the medical officer. An affidavit will be done to register their names, addresses and mobile numbers at the border check-post. The information will be sent to the sub-division officer and the nodal officer,” said district collector Joga Ram.
“Consent of the states is being obtained through nodal officers concerned in the state for coming to Jaipur from other states. Only after that online NOC by authorised officer of the district will be released,” he said.
Additonal district magistrate (South) Shankar Lal Saini said, so far passes have been issued to a few foreigners for their travel to New Delhi, including an Australian man, one South Korean woman and 3-4 from Afghanistan. The passes were issued only after home department cleared the permission. They were to fly to their respective countries on dedicated flights.
The migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and others who are stranded in Delhi and have registered online to come to Rajasthan by personal vehicles, will be issued passes by deputy commissioner/district collector of the district concerned.
