Nearly 100 migrant workers in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad city on Monday came out on a busy road, demanding that they be allowed to return to their hometowns amid the extended nationwide lockdown to rein in the coronavirus pandemic.
The police used teargas to disperse the workers after they reportedly pelted stones at the personnel and those passing by in vehicles. The incident took place on a road connecting the Indian Institute of Technology’s Ahmedabad campus with Vastrapur area in the city.
Several migrant workers were also detained by the police, an official from the city’s police control room said. He added that an operation was underway at a labourers’ settlement to find the remaining suspects involved in the protest.
