Akhilesh targeted the target, said - Help of one or two thousand is not enough

During the corona virus infection, Akhilesh Yadav said that the news of 5 crore people becoming unemployed in 2 weeks due to the lockdown implemented to stop the spread of corona virus is very worrying. After reviewing these figures, the government should prepare a roadmap to help the families affected by unemployment, otherwise starvation can make the situation terrible. Such arrangements should be made for everyone to get employment after bread, medicines and lockdown. Monthly assistance of one or two thousand to unemployed youth is insufficient.

Akhilesh Yadav said that due to the unfortunate accidental disaster of Corona, 85 percent of the lockdown, 93 percent of the unorganized workers in the private sector are in grave danger. The situation has become so severe that unemployment rate in India has exceeded 23 percent. The number is going to increase even more. Workers and laborers working in various states have been forced to migrate to their villages in lakhs. Giving an example of the problem of some laborers, Akhilesh said that due to the lockdown, the workers engaged in the construction work of Purvanchal Expressway are stuck near the legal park. They have neither ration nor money left. They are also afraid of taking the number 112 service. Help should be taken after taking cognizance of their situation.
