Two special trains from Kerala bring back 2,300 migrant workers to Patna
Around 2,300 people, mostly migrant workers, reached Patna aboard two Shramik Special trains from Kerala on Monday. The Patna district authorities, the East Central Railways (ECR), the health department as well as transport department officials received the passengers and carried out all necessary screening procedures as mandated by the Centre’s order issued last week allowing inter-state transportation of stranded people. 24 screening kiosks for each of the 24 coaches were set up by the health department for screening of passengers.
