With the government allowing and facilitating migrants' return to the native places, the transport industry has expressed concerns that the sector will experience loss of workers which will directly hit the supply chain of essential goods. Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, the number of active truck drivers has reduced considerably.
So far, 150 migrant trains bound for various destinations, have left the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
