More than 1,000 migrant workers, who are stuck in Mumbai since the last three weeks, gathered in Bandra demanding transport arrangements to go back to their native places, hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended the coronavirus-enforced curbs till May 3. The gathering, in violation of lockdown norms, created a health scare and a potential law and order situation.
Mumbai Police has detained a man who may have potentially set off rumours that led to hundreds of migrants flooding the Bandra West area by allegedly running a campaign online — ‘Chalo Ghar Ki Ore’ (Head towards home) for migrant labour in Mumbai.
