Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday appealed to migrant workers not to leave the city, saying the situation will revive once the lockdown is lifted and they will find work.
He also urged the workers trying to leave the national capital to stay wherever they were, assuring them that his government was arranging trains for their return.
"This lockdown is going to end soon, and everything will be back on track. You will get
employed again because everything will start running again. Please do not leave Delhi," Kejriwal said.
He added that the Delhi government was in talks with the Centre to arrange trains for migrants who wanted to go back to their home states.
"I want to appeal to all to stay in Delhi. We are making arrangements to take you back to your homes. Leaving Delhi right now on your own can be very dangerous for you and your family," the chief minister said.
