AJMER: A special train carrying around 1,000 devotees and migrant labourers left for Purnia in Bihar from here on Sunday evening.
The district administration said all the passengers were screened before they boarded the train. This was the second train from Ajmer. The first train carrying devotees stuck in the dargah was sent to West Bengal recently.
The devotees stranded in the dargah region were brought by buses to the station where they were screened before boarding the train. One of the devotees said she was happy to return home. She thanked the state government for arranging the train.
There were around 4,500 devotees stuck in dargah region after the lockdown was announced and the dargah committee as well as local leaders demanded the state government to make arrangements for them so that they can reach their homes.
Similarly, arrangements were made for labourers who were stuck in Nagaur, Bhilwara and Tonk through buses and trains.
Meanwhile, labourers from Gujarat and western Rajasthan were seen moving on foot to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. One of the groups said they were coming from Pali as the contractor stopped making arrangements for their food. The nine-member group, comprising two gamilies and a four-year-old kid, are on way to Bhopal and hopes to reach their village safely.
