LUCKNOW: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on Friday that there is no time limit for the state’s exercise of getting back migrants from across the country, appearing to reverse his position just a day after he had said that all workers who wanted to come back to Uttar Pradesh should do so by the end of May.

The state is “resolved to get back all its workers safely, respectfully and free of cost and there is no time limit to this exercise”, Adityanath said at a meeting held to sign memorandums of understanding with industry bodies such as the Indian Industries Association, National Real Estate Development Council, Ficci and Laghu Udyogi Bharti, which have collectively promised to employ 1.1 million out of nearly 3 million workers that have come back to the state since March 1.

A day earlier, he had said, “The (Shramik) rail service should possibly be stopped by this month. All those workers and labourers who want to come back to the state, should come back by the end of this month itself.”
