Lucknow: SP president Akhilesh Yadav on Monday targeted the Yogi Adityanath government over spraying a group of migrants on their back home with “chemicals” to sanitise them in Bareilly, prompting the district magistrate to admit the “mistake” and attribute it to the “over-active” civic bodies personnel.
The SP president attacked the government after a news report, which said the incident occurred in Bareilly where a group of people sitting on the road was sprayed with a liquid which the article claimed was a chemical. After the incident, several migrants, including women and children, complained of burning sensation in their eyes.
“The spraying of chemicals on migrants to sanitise them has raised some questions. Has the World Health Organisation given any direction in this regard? How do you treat the burning sensation caused by the chemicals? What arrangements are there for people to change out of wet clothes? What alternatives are being provided for the food that gets wet due to the spraying?,” Yadav tweeted. Akhilesh also tagged the news report with his tweet.
Admitting the mistake in a tweet, District Magistrate Nitish Kumar attributed it to “over-active” civic bodies personnel and said actin is being taken erring officials. “The affected persons are being treated under the supervision of Chief Medical Officer. Teams of Bareilly municipal corporation and fire brigade were asked to sanitise the bus but due to over-activeness they did that. Orders have been issued to take action against the concerned,” DM said in a tweet. (PTI)
