To break the lockdown, Shiv Sena leader and state cabinet minister Aditya Thackeray said that 6 lakh people are living in shelters in Maharashtra. The matter was put before the central government that these people should try to reach their houses. They have no food and want to go home. The people gathered in Bandra are gone now but this situation occurred because the central government did not listen. People have been removed from Bandra station. All this shows the failure of the central government, which is failing to send the migrant labourers to their homes. They do not want food or shelter, they want to go home.
