Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has blamed the states for this situation amid the heated politics over the migrant workers going by walk. He has also said that he is ready to run 300 trains every day, but is not getting permission from the states. Due to this, the workers have to suffer this pain. During this time, he strongly criticized the attitude of states like Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan and said that only a small number of trains have been allowed to run from these states.
Piyush Goyal made it clear that one thousand labor special trains have been approved, out of which 932 trains have been run. Out of total labourers Special trains run, 75% trains have been run for Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. At the same time, only two trains have run for Bengal. Five more trains have been allowed to run following the intervention of the Home Ministry.
Also, 105 trains have been reported to run till June 15 i.e. in the next 30 days. Despite this, around 40 lakh people of Bengal alone live outside the country, who want to return to their homes during this crisis, but this attitude of the Bengal government is suffering all of them. The 105 trains which have been said to be run are also just information. No details have been given yet. Goyal said that similar situation is also there with Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan where the least trains have run till now.
