Karwar: The state bulletinis gearing to ferry migrant workers from Wednesday, when 10,000 of them would cross the Karnataka border at Majali on the outskirts of Karwar.
DC K Harish Kumar said the government has appointed Vinayak Patil, who had served as the SP in the district a year ago, to ensure seamless transport of workers from Goa. The process, which was delayed by a day owing to logistical issues, is aimed at bringing in workers in a staggered manner. “They will have to undergo a medical check-up before entering the state. From there, they would be taken to the nearest hospital for a thorough test, after which they will be sent to different parts of Karnataka,” the DC said, adding only those who have taken permission from the government by filling the form on Arogya Setu app will allowed to come to Karnataka.
Karwar assistant commissioner M Priyanga and CMC executive engineer R P Naik will coordinate the process. Those from south Karnataka will come to the Karwar border, and those from north Karnataka will go to the Belagavi border.
KSRTC has arranged 300 buses to ferry the workers to different districts, sources said. Buses from Karwar, Ankola, Kumta and Sirsi bus depots will ferry the workers, a KSRTC officer said.
