On the other hand, another migrant worker from Assam\u2019s Karimganj district said that, many migrant workers from Assam are now stranded in Mumbai and struggling to live.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have now no money to purchase foods and our ration stock is almost finished. There is no work here and we are now locked in a room. We have no relatives or friends in Maharashtra and so we are facing various problems,\u201d the migrant worker said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Assam Health Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that, the state government will provide financial aid to the students, wage laborers, pilgrims who are stranded outside of the state due to lockdown.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been getting a lot of queries that, many people from the state are facing hardships in different parts of the country due to lockdown. Many people from poor and middle-class families are still stranded outside of the state and facing a lot of problems. The figure could be between 50,000 to 4 lakh. Our government has decided to extend financial support to them. So that, we have launched a helpline number 9615471547 and those in need will have to give a missed call to the helpline number and they will get a voice mail and SMS with a link. They will have to update their information and bank account details,\u201d Himanta Biswa Sarma said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
