Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on Friday stressed upon the plight of migrants during the coronavirus times and said they are reeling under poverty due to rampant unemployment in the state.
2. साथ ही, कोरोना बीमारी से रोकथाम के लिए यूपी में बनाये गये सरकारी कोविड केन्द्रों में से अधिकतर वहाँ पर उचित साफ-सफाई व रख-रखाव आदि के अभाव के कारण कहीं वे बीमारी के नए केन्द्र न बन जायें, सरकार इस पर भी गंभीरता से ध्यान दे तो यह बेहतर होगा। 2/2

They are in search of a job but due to unemployment they are reeling under pathetic financial stress. This situation of them is very serious and a worrisome issue," Mayawati tweeted in Hindi.
