Run special trains to ferry migrant workers stuck in state: Ajit Pawar

<span style="color: #222222;">Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has written a letter to Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal to run special train services from Mumbai and Pune to ferry migrant workers stuck in the state. He said, the government is currently providing food and shelter to six-and-half lakh migrant workers.<br />'' <br />'' Referring to the Bandra incident, when scores of migrants had gathered outside Bandra station to board a train home, Mr Pawar said the incident showed how desperate the workers were to return home. Mr Pawar said, crowding and law and order problems can be avoided if special trains are announced post 3rd of May when lockdown ends.</span><br />''  <br />
