MARGAO: No sooner the Chief Minister announced the lockdown, migrants started thronging the Margao railway station to return home. The visuals of migrants walking on the station road brought back the bitter memories at the height of the Covid pandemic last year. What had then started as a trickle initially had later exploded in an unprecedented exodus of migrants out of the state during the lockdown.
VASCO: The scene was no different in Vasco as chaos prevailed at the port town’s railway station on Wednesday evening as large number of migrant from Jharkhand and northern states started leaving their rooms to avoid getting stranded in the State.
