Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, scorched over the migrant crisis last year, today requested the migrants from his state to return home quickly in the backdrop of the raging second wave of Covid. All arrangements will be made for the returning migrants, he said this evening while announcing a series of restrictions across the state to check the spiralling daily cases. The Chief Minister has asked migrant labourers to return as soon as possible. "The difficulty will increase with delay," he said, adding, "We will get you checked and will arrange work for you". "Finally Nitish babu seems to have learned from his colossal blunder this time but we will wait and see how he gives shape to his promises," said Manoj Jha of RJD.
