After asking the contractor to extend the tent for the increasing number of travelling migrants at Suncity ground in Vasai, the Palghar Collector's office ordered that all tents be removed late on Thursday night citing high costs. On Friday morning, the contractor was seen dismantling the set-up. Collector Kailash Shinde told mid-day, "There is no fixed schedule for Shramik Special trains. Removing the tents will reduce cost."

Contractor Nisar Ahmed said, "At 1 am on Friday, we were told to remove the tent. The cost is R11 per sq ft. We had also installed lights, halogens, mic among other things. I am yet to do the calculation but the bill would be around R50 lakh. I will submit it in a week."
