Kathmandu, April 17
The Province 5 government is preparing to help the people who have been stranded in the province or who are currently in the province on their journey to certain places due to lockdown restrictions.
The government has assured that it will help them reach their destinations safely, by ensuring food and shelter before that. However, they will be quarantined before taken home.
Chief Minister Shankar Pokhrel on Friday directed the authorities not to leave anyone stranded anywhere in the province, but to quarantine them with basic facilities. Once the lockdown will be over, they will be sent home safely, according to the chief minister’s press coordinator Sher Bahadur KC.
He says the provincial government will coordinate with concerned local units to facilitate this process, adding the government has already allocated budget to the local units to arrange quarantine facilities.
