SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) on Thursday shot off a letter to the Chief Secretary M S Rao seeking a list of individuals stranded in Meghalaya who wish to return home and the cost of their rail tickets.
MPCC working president James S Lyngdoh in the letter said that the Congress is ready to facilitate the return of migrant labourers stranded in the state.
Further, the MPCC also asked the chief secretary to provide them with the list of all migrants stranded here and to inform them about travel fares so that they can deposit the money directly.
‘The Congress is also in the process of identifying and reaching out to the needy workers and migrant labourers to facilitate their return journey’, Lyngdoh said in the letter.
The Congress leader also said that it is indeed heart breaking that their return journey, which could have been handled with ease and grace, is escalated to such levels due to the mercantile and apathetic attitude of the central government and the railway ministry.
