Covid-19: Maharashtra to bear train ticket cost for migrant workers
MUMBAI: Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday approved the proposal to pay for train tickets from the Chief Minister's Assistance Fund for migrant workers.
The proposal will facilitate bringing back migrant labours stranded in other states and send those stuck in Maharashtra to their hometowns.
Accordingly, a fund of ₹54.75 crore has been distributed among 36 districts in Maharashtra, said the chief minister in a statement.
The amount has been transferred to the accounts of the concerned district collectors. India has been under a lockdown since 25 March and is now in the third phase of it, which ends on 17 May.
