Police stop 30 textile workers in Surat while trying to return home

After they reached Bardoli taluka covering 35 kilometers, some local residents spotted the workers carrying food stock and water bottles and informed the Bardoli police.

Police officers reached the spot and asked them return back to Sachin GIDC. The workers were provided food and their medical screenings were also done.

They were later sent back to Sachin GIDC in a tempo. Three policemen also accompanied them.

Bardoli Police Inspector M M Gilator told The Indian Express, “They have no work here and wanted to go back to meet their families. These labourers had gone to their native place several times and they knew the route and stations. So they selected Tapti line. They told us they chose railway tracks to not get caught by police. We have dropped them to their homes and warned them not to take such steps again.”
