Making a complete mockery of the migrants' situation in the state, the cops at Suncity ground forcefully evicted thousands of them on Wednesday morning after trains to their native places got cancelled. They had gathered there after believing that the trains would run. While most of them don't have jobs and haven't been paid, now, they are also homeless, because they vacated their dwellings in the hope that they would be on a train home. While some of them were packed into buses and dropped off at Nalasopara, Vasai, Virar and Naigaon to avoid crowding, others took shelter under trees near the ground.

More than 3,000 migrants waited overnight for Shramik special trains at the grounds and in the morning they were forcefully sent to nearby areas even while some of them were sleeping. "They were packed in buses and dropped off in areas like Nalasopara, Vasai, Virar and Naigaon to avoid crowding," said a police source.
