Long queue of migrant workers in Rajkot
Rajkot: Fear of lockdown last year has once again come to haunt the migrant workers in Rajkot. Many have started planning to go back to their native apprehending the lockdown.
Long queue of migrant workers has been witnessed since past few days at the Rajkot railway station.
According to railway sources, the trains going towards Muzaffarpur, Patna, Varanasi, Gorakhpur were overcrowded. Those leaving the city include some working in Rajkot’s engineering industry and construction sites.
Parth Ganatra, vice president of Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) said, “Migrant workers are afraid of lockdown and because of that some have left for their native. The chief minister and Prime Minister should appeal to these workers that there was no planning lockdown and workers need not panic.”
