It was one o'clock in the night, when labourers were being brought in buses. They were stranded in Lingampalli and adjoining areas of Telangana for the last forty days. Tears trickling from their eyes before sitting in the train. Believe me when a migrant child touched my feet, I could not stop my tears. The tears in eyes of the workers were telling the happiness of going to their house. Ravinder Reddy the nodal officer of this entire campaign shared this information.
In the telephonic conversation, the nodal officer informed that a total of 1233 migrants have been sent to Jharkhand. The list of these workers was already prepared, as most of them were working in the Larsen & Toubro Company Project....

Nodal Officer Ravinder Reddy shared some shocking information. He told that when work stopped in the local company, they all became unemployed. They insisted on going home. In the past, they turned to violence. They attacked the local police, broked the vehicles. The company was also harmed. On the government's direction, the matter was resolved and no case was registered. The local administration also wanted to remove them from here, so that no major incident happens in the future.
Reddy said that there was secrecy in the campaign. This process was adopted in view of poor experience in other areas of the country, so that there is no panic. The workers came to know about it at night and were brought to the station through special buses.
The non-stop train left from Lingampalli for Hatia at night. Morning breakfast and lunch arrangements had already been made in the train. Dinner has been arranged in Chakradharpur, Jharkhand. In the presence of officials, all the migrants will be welcomed and given food.
In fact, 1233 migrants from Telangana left for Jharkhand on Friday, who reached Hatia at night. Their list was already prepared. All of them were working in Larsen & Toubro Company Project.
