Sharing their plight, one of the migrants said, “We are heading to our villages since this lockdown was announced. We have faced a lot, if we get stuck this time as well, what will we do? Government does not care about the poor.” A huge queue of migrants was seen at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in Mumbai.
