A 45-year-old migrant, who had walked/ran 30 km from Bhayandar to Vasai Road station on Thursday, in order to board the train to his hometown in Rajasthan, collapsed and died as he neared it. Completely out of breath from rushing, Harish Chander Shankarlal died metres from his destination.

Shankarlal was a carpenter and lived in Sai Baba Nagar in Bhayandar. His relatives told mid-day that the authorities concerned had not provided any transport for migrants from their hutments to the station.
