Over 3,100 migrants from north Mumbai were given permission by police to board trains that left from the metropolis for Uttar Pradesh and Bihar on Sunday, officials said.
A total of 1,916 migrant labourers stranded in the coronavirus-induced lockdown were given permission by Saki Naka police station to travel on board a Shramik Special train for Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh.
