Hubli: As many as 1400 migrant workers from neighbouring districts, working at brick manufacturing factories in Hubli were sent to their respective districts on buses, amid coronavirus lockdown on Friday, May 1.
Speaking with this regard Dr Purushottam, Nodal Officer, the COVID-19 task force said, “Total 1473 labourers from eight neighbouring districts, working in the brick manufacturing units of our district were sent by 74 buses.
He further added, “876 labourers are from Kalburgi where we are sending 44 buses, 350 labourers are from Vijaypura where we are sending 27 buses.”
“Before the labourers boarded, the buses were disinfected. NWKRTC officials took a special interest in doing so. The District Collector has written letters to the concerned DCs regarding shifting of labourers in every bus, one Nodal Officer will handover them to the local officials,” Dr Purushottam informed.
Only 20 people were accommodated in a bus to maintain social distance.
