Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday assured migrants who flocked railway stations on Tuesday that they would be taken care of and that they were in safe hands. Hundreds of migrants reached railway stations on Tuesday after the lockdown extension was announced by PM Modi, to take trains, which weren't supposed to run in the extended lockdown.

"You are Indians and you are in India. Don't worry, we will ensure you are safe and your needs are fulfilled," Thackeray said in a webcast, switching over to Hindi from Marathi in order to reach out to the migrants in the time of crisis.
