According to the government spokesman, over seven lakh migrants have returned to the state and the government wants to bring back all those who wish to return.

The Chief Minister said that 37 trains, bringing back about 30,000 migrant workers, had already reached Uttar Pradesh and 20 more are expected on Thursday.

"If the other state governments provide us a list of those wanting to return, we will make arrangements accordingly," the chief minister said.

Nearly 50,000 medical staff is screening the workers who are coming in.

Every worker will be given a ration kit and a sum of Rs 1,000 before he returns home.

The state government is also making efforts to provide employment, based on the skills of workers, to those who want to stay in Uttar Pradesh.
