GUWAHATI: With the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) deciding to allow the inter-state movement of migrant workers by road, several states have raised concern and have urged the Centre to arrange special trains as 'buses may not be feasible'.
Earlier, the MHA in its new guidelines on April 29 said that the people can only be transferred by road on buses. The MHA also said that the states will have to make arrangements for their transportation.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, in a letter to PM Modi, said that the movement of thousands of people over such long distances in buses is not practical at all.
