NEW DELHI: There is strong evidence of “reverse” migration with several Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Howrah, Delhi and Secunderabad-bound special mail and express trains from states like UP and Bihar running full.
The reservation status for these trains from June 26 to June 30 was at 100% with more people on the waiting list, rail ministry data showed, indicating that migrant workers who had gone to their homes in the hinterland are returning to cities. The return of these workers augurs well for the economy as businesses reopen, though it means there is a need for more measures to check the spread of Covid-19. Da
