Amid flip-flops over building tents at Vasai's Suncity ground, 500 migrants had to bear the heat as the tents, built again at the Palghar Collector's orders, proved insufficient. Collector Kailash Shinde reversed his last week's order to dismantle all tents and halfway through the dismantling work, workers scrambled again to build one across 40,000 sq ft.

On Saturday, the Collector ordered that a tent across 40,000 sq ft be built again as a train for West Bengal got scheduled. But the tent could not accommodate all migrants on Sunday. Over 500 of them were forced to sit under the sun," an officer attached to Collector's office told mid-day.
