Nagpur: As district authorities prepare to send migrant workers and other stranded persons back to their homes, a list of more than 26,500 persons has been drawn up in Vidarbha.
There is no break up of, though, the number of migrant workers and others.
The list shows that people from as far as Jammu and Kashmir in the north, and Kerala down south, are stranded in Vidarbha. There are four each from these two states. The four from J&K are held up in Gondia. There is one each from Kerala in Gondia and Gadchiroli, as two from the state remain stranded in Chandrapur.
