More than 4 lakh migrant workers reach to their native
Gandhinagar, 8 MAY 2020
The fact that Gujarat did not migrate as much as when India and Pakistan partisan is due to the chaos of Corona’s appearance. If they had received food and a thousand a month, the migration of 10 lakh people so far, including 4.25 lakh people, could have been stopped. Khushwant Singh wrote the book Train to Pakistan. The difference is that at that time Trono was crowded, now less people are being accommodated in Trono. Most trains from Gujarat have gone to India. No other state in India has run so many trolls. Therefore, most migration in India has taken place from Gujarat to the country. All are leaving Gujarat.
