So dear @narendramodi, here is my daily morning briefing for you. The migration that you stopped right now, is going to come back to bite all of us badly. For many reasons. Massive urban unemployment & hunger coupled with agricultural labour shortage. 1/n
This thing about reverse migration that you were warned a week before, you should have paid heed. Your lack of foresight, and insensitivity already cost a lot many lives and is going to cost a lot more. So please listen carefully now. 2/n
In the wake of impending massive urban unemployment, mmediately frame and announce a demand based job guarantee scheme like nrega for urban areas.

At least in your IT cell. Believe me, each migrant labourer is far more sensible than the current lot you have employed there. 3/n
While making the scheme, if possible, try and ensure it is for non-harvesting seasons. But for this year you have pretty much stopped their migration before Rabi harvesting. So you will have to plan for agricultural labour shortage for this season. 4/n
Saving grace about this disaster is that unlike other disasters our communication system is intact. So instead of shutting down departments like agriculture, fisheries etc, ask them to work from home through internet and phone please. You will get many committed office staff. 5/n
Ask them to talk to farmers over phone. They have the list and contact details already with them. Find out what help farmers are looking for. 6/n
Many will find difficult to hire agricultural machinery like harvesters. In districts with large agricultural farms, please talk to owners and even combine harvester manufacturers and see if they have stock. Procure with Disaster Management funds & tie up with SHGs/LSGs. 7/n
Talk to the insurance companies under PM Fasal Bima Yojana. Ask them for liberal claim process. Insure all farms. Whether or not they are covered or not have paid premium now. Waive farmer contribution. Start review of procurement process and streamline. 8/n
Well, a lot more to add, but got to make breakfast.

Please ask those 11 committees you made, to sit every day, share their work, seek suggestions etc. daily.

You don't have to deal this crisis as a one man show.

You are incompetent. So please take help for the country's sake.
