Udupi, Apr 16: Udupi district deputy commissioner (DC) G Jagadeesha, has apologized to Udupians staying in Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru for not allowing them to enter their home district.
In a video message, the officer said, "I can understand your sufferings. But due to the central government lockdown rules we are helpless as far as allowing you people or any of the other Udupians to enter the district. Many MLAs and other politicians have also urged me to make some arrangements to bring you people back. But due to lockdown we are also helpless. I request all the fellow Udupians staying in these places to remain there for the present. After the lifting of lockdown you can return to your district without any problems," he added.
A lot of people of Udupi are living in Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru for work and many other reasons. Even though some were able to return to Udupi many are stranded in different places. It is learnt that in certain cases, some of the paying guest owners have asked them to vacate their paying guest accommodations as coronavirus infection has been spreading in these places.
