Maharashtra police find over 300 migrant workers in two container trucks


Daijiworld Media Network – Mumbai (AM)

Mumbai, Mar 27: Maharashtra police on Thursday, March 26, found over 300 migrant workers crowded inside two container trucks which were carrying essential commodities from Telangana to Rajasthan.

The workers, who reportedly wanted to return home hail from Rajasthan. Desperate migrant workers wanting to reach home amid lockdown on account of coronavirus pandemic, are choosing various modes of travel.

The two container trucks were stopped at border district of Yavatmal for inspection by a team of police and revenue department officials. While action will be taken against the drivers of the trucks, officials are at a loss as to how to deal with the workers. They are said to be taking a decision soon.

"The officials at Pandharkavda toll booth found something was fishy as the drivers could not give a satisfactory answer as to what the trucks were carrying and where. Inside, they found some 300 daily wagers in two containers. Some of them said they wanted to go back to their home state, Rajasthan and could not find any other mode of transport," said a senior official.

    Why didn't the Govt. give atleast 2 days notice that there would be total lockdown? Our PM came on TV and suddenly announced that there would be total lockdown from 12 am.. What arrangements can one do from 8pm to 12am?

    Govt must look into this matter seriously there are many such desperate migrants who want to go back to their homes across India .

    Some state govt controlled and monitored transport facility must be planned very soon.
