Rayagada: A Shramik Special train carrying over 160 Odia migrant workers from Telangana arrived in Rayagada railway station on Wednesday.

The migrants mostly belong to Gajapati, Ganjam, Kandhamal, Koraput, and Nabarangpur districts, sources said.

They were working in Telangana before the lockdown was announced. Without enough food and money, the workers were reportedly starving since days.

Special buses were arranged to take them to their respective home districts.

For smooth transit of the migrants to the quarantine centres and contain the spread of COVID-19, Section 144 was imposed in and around the railway station area.

Notably, it is mandatory for every passenger boarding the train to wear face cover, ensure social distancing norms and hygiene. Meals and drinking water is provided to them by government officials.

The returnees were received at the station by Rayagada district collector Pramod Kumar Behera, additional collector Sarat Chandra Panda, DRDA project director Amit Ruturaj, Gunupur sub-collector BS Balaram and Rayagada sub-collector Pratap Chandra Pradhan.
