On Thursday, CM Adityanath had appealed to those stranded in other states to be patient and not start walking towards their homes. "Maintain the patience that you have shown till now. A detailed plan is being prepared after contacting the concerned states to ensure that everyone returns to their homes safely," he had said.

He had further ordered officials to keep quarantine centres, shelter homes and community kitchens ready for about six lakh people. An official spokesman said the UP government has written letters to several states seeking detailed data on migrant labourers and workers of UP along with their names, mobile numbers and addresses as well as medical reports.

Earlier the state government had brought back 11,500 students from Rajasthan's Kota and ensured that 15,000 students from Prayagraj return safely to their homes in different districts of the state, the spokesman informed.
