A lot migrant workers are stuck due to lockdown and they want to go back to their native place. Considering their problem, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has appealed to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal to run special train services from Mumbai and Pune to ferry migrant workers who are stuck in Maharashtra to their native states after the lockdown ends on May 3.

According to an official statement, in a letter to Goyal, Pawar said that the migrant workers, stranded in different parts of Maharashtra, may step out in big numbers to return to their states when the train services resume after the lockdown is lifted.

If trains are arranged for the migrant workers law and order problem can be avoided and workers can return to their respective home states safely.
