85% of migrants had to pay for journey home

More than 85% of migrants surveyed by a volunteer group, Stranded Workers Action Network (SWAN), said they had to pay for their journey home during the Covid-19 lockdown. The survey report says that the Supreme Court interim order on May 28 asking state governments to bear the transport costs came too late since their movement had been cleared at the beginning of the month.
