State Upset With Centre Decision On Migrant Workers
Telangana expressed unhappiness over the decision of the union government to allow the migrant workers stranded in the state to return to their native places.
Telangana Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav today expressed unhappiness over the decision of the union government to allow the migrant workers stranded in the state to return to their native places.
Yadav said that it was improper for the Centre to issue such an order and then shrug off responsibility.
Claiming that the state had more than 15 lakh migrant workers, he urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to arrange free trains for the transportation of the workers to their native places.
He also urged union government to take up the responsibility of transporting the migrant workers to their native places.
He said that asking for the migrant workers to be transported in buses by the state government was not fair. It would take 3 to 5 days for the workers to reach their homes in buses, he claimed, and asked who would feed and provide any other necessary amenities to the workers during that period.
