Kejriwal appealed to all who left the state during lockdown to come back to Delhi.

He said that shops, professionals, industries, construction companies, etc are not able to find the required manpower to restart. On the other hand, people who lost their jobs due to disruption caused by coronavirus are not able to find jobs again.
