Kerala opens borders, seeks non-stop trains to bring back its people
ERNAKULAM: Kerala lifted the one-and-half month old blockade at its borders on Monday, bringing relief to thousands of Keralites stranded in other states.
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to run non-stop trains to bring back the state's people stranded in various parts of India.
In a letter, Vijayan requested the Centre to allow the 'Shramik Special' trains, currently taking migrant labourers stranded in Kerala to their home states, to be used for the return of Keralites stranded in other parts of the country.
So far, five Shramik trains have departed Kerala, carrying thousands of migrant labourers to states such as Odisha and Jharkhand.
