As the lockdown in India extended, the discontent among migrant workers have started growing. There was a mass gathering of thousands of migrant workers in financial capital of India, Mumbai today demanding the opening of transport services mainly Railways to allow them to go to their home states as there is no work for them anymore. This situation appears to be growing graver than anticipated and has to be handled delicately and is bound to hamper India's fight against coronavirus pandemic.

I'm sorry the response is bad from the migrant workers. I understand they want to be with their families.
