Plight of Migrant Labours

Helpless migrant labours are moving along with the railway track at different locations over the South Eastern railway. On 9th May about 15 migrant workers in a group were moving towards Belda on foot, over the track detected by engineering staff between Jaleswar and Laxhanath Raod who were detained at nearest level crossing gate. Again a group of 26 people have been found moving towards Kharagpur of West Bengal and they have been detained at Haldipada Station by RPF staff.
In the evening hours again a group of people detected between Soro and Markona of Odisha moving on the railway track towards West Bengal. This type of trespassing continued even on 10th May where in the morning hours a group of people detected heading towards their home walking on the railway track near a level crossing between Soro and Markona of Odisha and another group of 8 migrants labour found moving towards Kharagpur, on track between Balasore and Haldipada .
As soon as these incidents reported train movements are being stopped until and unless track clearances are not received from the person in the field. These migrants’ labours are dealt very sympathetically at all the points by the station and RPF staff. The local civil authorities are being informed immediately to escort them towards the public road. After allowing them to take rest Food and water were arranged for them and counseled not to walk on the railway track by the railway staff.
