Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said states who wish to employ workers from UP must seek the state government's permission before doing so. Adityanath also announced that a Migrant Commission will be set up to provide employment to migrants who returned to the state amid coronavirus lockdown, reported The Indian Express.

"The Uttar Pradesh government will lay down stringent conditions to ensure social security of workers from UP," the CM said during a webinar.

"If other states need manpower, the UP government will give the manpower social security. We will provide insurance and security. However, other states cannot employ people from UP without the state's permission,” he added.

The Migrant Commission will provide jobs to workers according to their skills. Adityanath had earlier asked state officials to do skill mapping of migrant workers so that they can be provided employment once they complete the quarantine period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a vaccine work?

A vaccine works by mimicking a natural infection. A vaccine not only induces immune response to protect people from any future COVID-19 infection, but also helps quickly build herd immunity to put an end to the pandemic. Herd immunity occurs when a sufficient percentage of a population becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. The good news is that SARS-CoV-2 virus has been fairly stable, which increases the viability of a vaccine.

How many types of vaccines are there?

There are broadly four types of vaccine — one, a vaccine based on the whole virus (this could be either inactivated, or an attenuated [weakened] virus vaccine); two, a non-replicating viral vector vaccine that uses a benign virus as vector that carries the antigen of SARS-CoV; three, nucleic-acid vaccines that have genetic material like DNA and RNA of antigens like spike protein given to a person, helping human cells decode genetic material and produce the vaccine; and four, protein subunit vaccine wherein the recombinant proteins of SARS-COV-2 along with an adjuvant (booster) is given as a vaccine.

What does it take to develop a vaccine of this kind?

Vaccine development is a long, complex process. Unlike drugs that are given to people with a diseased, vaccines are given to healthy people and also vulnerable sections such as children, pregnant women and the elderly. So rigorous tests are compulsory. History says that the fastest time it took to develop a vaccine is five years, but it usually takes double or sometimes triple that time.

The CM also accused the Shiv Sena-Congress government in Maharashtra of deceiving migrant workers.

"Migrant workers who built Maharashtra with their blood and sweat only got deceit from the state government. They were left to fend for themselves, forcing them to leave the state," Adityanath said in a tweet in Hindi.
