Kathmandu, April 17

The high level coordination committee to fight COVID-19 pandemic has proposed two alternatives to Prime Minister (PM) KP Sharma Oli to address the plight of those walking back to home during the nationwide lockdown.

The committee during the meeting with PM Oli at Baluwatar has presented making arrangements for accommodation and food for them wherever they are now as the first option, according to a source.

"There seems to be problem in cooking when food grains are distributed to them. There is, therefore, the option to provide cooked meals," the source confided. "How can we stop those who want to go home at any cost?"

The committee headed by Deputy PM and Defense Minister Ishwore Pokharel has presented the other option of safely ferrying them to their respective district headquarters and then handing them over to the local bodies.
