Mangaluru, May 6: Thousands of migrant workers belonging to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states began a protest seeking to be sent back to their homes, on Wednesday May 6.

The workers started a protest demonstration opposite Mangaluru City Corporation building at Lalbagh here.

Dakshina Kannada district youth Congress president Mithun Rai, provided leadership to the protesters.

The workers said they have nowhere to go and nothing to eat. Therefore, they are demanding to be sent back to their states. They however, had crowded together without following the social distance norm. The police had a busy time dispersing the protesters.

    - Govt is bringing stranded expats to India by charging double amount of airfare
    - Govt has increased taxes on Petrol/Diesel, its record hike so far. Millions will be collected

    What a pity?? Political ambition at low. Can't see local problem ?? Can you provide the manpower to the local industries? Then you can go with them and contest election like George Fernandis.

    Amazing to see Congress leaders spear heading all kind of protest. If it is good or bad for the society at large . Why is he not protesting to bring back people of Mangalore and Udupi from Maharashtra ? We know there are 1000s who are struggling to meet their ends.

    So, this exact question to ask our Congress party ? If Yeddy needs to bring people of Karnataka so is Govt of Bihar and West Bengal. If we are worried about Health of Karnataka by bringing fellow People of Karnataka from other States so is the health of people of States Of migrants. In every case poor people are suffering from disease brought in by affluent and jet setters . Now, on what
    grounds is Mr. Rai who is a representatives of DK spearheading the agitation of Migrant workers ? Is he taking leadership for sake of it or genuine concern ? If it so for sake of it then where is his priority ? If for sake of genuine concern he needs to fight for all ? As much as Bihar migrant workers are suffering in our state so is Karnataka migrant workers in other states. End of the day Humanity is suffering. Take stand on what you can keep you feet strong.
