Bihar Chief Minister interacted with the migrant workers and said that all workers will be provided employment in the state.
Nitish Kumar talked to the inmates of various quarantine centers via video conferencing from the CM house and asked them to stay in their home state and help in the development of Bihar.

“Utilise your labour force and skill in the home state and continue to stay here,” he called upon the migrant workers who are currently put up at different quarantine centres.

During the video conference, the inmates appreciated all the arrangements made at quarantine centres under the supervision of the CM and also assured that they do not have any kind of problem at the centres. They also said that now they do not wish to go anywhere outside Bihar for work.
The CM asked the officials to provide the job cards to the workers who are willing to work here as per their skill profile. He asked the industries department officials to promote more industries in the state according to the skill profile of the migrant workers.
He also mentioned that Bihar has an unlimited scope of developing a paver block industry. He even asked officials to utilise paver blocks in different works being executed under the ‘Jal-Jivan-Hariyali Abhyan’ and ‘Pakki Nali-Gali Yojana’ of the state government.

The women self-help groups working under the Jeevika can also be provided with employment by linking the work of the manufacturing of paver blocks with Jeevika projects.

One Rambali who had come from Gurugram and was quarantined in Bettiah said during the video conference that he was a skilled worker in paver blocks and has also been manufacturing such paver blocks at the quarantine center.
He told the CM that he had prepared around 7,000 paver blocks so far while other inmates at his quarantine centres were engaged in manufacturing masks. CM also asked questions to several inmates at different quarantine centres about the quality of food at the centres.
He also inspected arrangements at 20 quarantine centers in 10 districts and supervised the arrangements of the kitchen, bathroom, drinking water facilities, toilets, beds, and overall cleanliness at the centres.
Meanwhile, Bihar’s Khagaria district has seen a surge in the number of COVID-19 cases from 0 to 96 in just 14 days. But except for two deaths — of a severely ill patient from Delhi and a diabetic from Mumbai — all are in the Level-I stage of “pre-mild” or “mild”, requiring isolation or quarantine.
