In his letter to Arvind Kejriwal, Yogio Adityanath wrote that his government has launched a helpline for people living in UP from other states and taking good care of them.

Apart from this, Adityanath also said that his government had arranged buses for migranmt workers so that they can reach their homes safely. The state government had barred the conductors from charging money for the tickets in the time of crisis. However, expecting the same treatment, Adityanath asked Arvind Kejriwal to take care of the people in the national capital.

Here's the tweet of CM Adityanth's letter:

Earlier, the Centre on Sunday asked state governments and Union Territory administrations to effectively seal state and district borders to stop movement of migrant workers during the nationwide lockdown and warned that those violating the curb will be sent to 14-day quarantine. Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba and Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla asked them to ensure that there is no movement of people across cities or on highways as the lockdown continues.
