Coming to UP? You can use your own vehicle

Migrants who were stuck in Kerala arrive at Charbagh railway station on Thursday.
LUCKNOW: More than 1.48 lakh people registered on the government's Jan Sunwai portal on Thursday, requesting to be brought back to UP from other states that they have been stuck in since the lockdown was imposed. In three days since the service started, more than 5 lakh people have registered on the portal, either to be brought back to UP or be allowed to go from UP to their respective home states. More than half of 81,284 registrations by those who want to leave UP have been made by people from Bihar.
To make it easier for people to return home during the lockdown, UP government has also decided to allow them to travel by private vehicles, subject to conditions. It has asked all those registering on the portal to provide details of their private vehicles, if they would like to use that mode of travel, and district magistrates have been asked to consider the cases.
