Bad idea. Surge in cases in my states after migrants showed up. It is too soon to so called "live with the virus". Interstate movement should be stopped until August.

You gotta be kidding me. Right? That's the most crowded place in the entire city.

A workplace strategy is first needed. Than we can think about public transport. In my state run buses are running at half capacity. Sad part is state is gonna have to bear the cost of losses.

Central Govt. doing wrong steps running trains from epic centres. State Govt. will bear the burden for increasing cases and load on hospitals.

These migrants left their states for better opportunities while we preferred to be loyal to our states. No that they are under distress. They are putting our lives at stakes by coming back. I might not be politically correct here. But I am way beyond correct here.
