JAMMU, Mar 29: Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has requested the persons from other states working in Jammu Kashmir as labourers or factory workers as also people from rural areas of UT working in urban centers to desist from moving out and attempting to go back to their homes.
BJP chief spokesperson, Sunil Sethi in a statement issued here, today said it will put to jeopardy their own lives as also lives of their family members.
Sethi called upon them to stay where they are staying for their safety. In case they try to move out that will lead to spread of Corona Virus between them unchecked , which will then get transmitted to their families when they will reach homes.
He said that as medicare infrastructure in rural areas is mostly to meet emergencies thereafter the patients are referred to main healthcare centers. If number of patients increase in rural areas there will be practically less medicare as by that time the urban medicare centers would be crowded . Additionally even food stuff like vegetables, milk , fruit etc coming from rural areas will also get contaminated leading to more spread of virus, Sethi added.
Sunil Sethi called upon factories and construction companies which are dealing with non essential commodities and are closed, to rise to the occasion and provide food and shelter to their labourers and not to render them shelter less or foodless at this trying time. He called upon Government to coordinate with business establishments including factories and construction companies to ensure that Delhi like mass movement of Labour doesn’t happen in Jammu Kashmir.
He cautioned the people that we are sitting on time bomb which is already ticking and it has to be stopped otherwise we all will perish.
