The migrants were brought to the station from across Delhi districts in nearly 75 Delhi Transport Corporation’s low-floor buses. Sonu Kumar Singh, 27, one among 1050 passengers on board the special train, said he cannot wait to see his family back in his village in Madhya Pradesh’s Bundelkhand. Singh, a labourer, had been living in a government-run shelter in southwest Delhi district since March 30.
