To help the migrant workers stranded in several states, the Congress, here on Saturday, launched a web portal, even as the political slugfest continued over rail fares of migrants being ferried by Shramik Special trains.
The Congress launched chat portal tinyurl.com/UPmitra to help UP workers stranded in other states as well as those stuck in the state. The portal has been developed by Valuefirst free of cost.
"We have launched this chat portal to provide help to those in need. The problems raised by them will be listed and the party workers will help them," UP Congress chief Ajay Kumar Lallu said.
The list of the problems would also be shared with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he added.
