Goa: Migrants clash with police at Ravanfond

MARGAO: Migrant labourers, already exhausted after travelling on foot for miles together with their bags and belongings to reach Margao railway station, gave vent to their feelings of angst and desperation as they clashed with the police Monday evening.
Sources said that when the group of migrants reached near the Ravanfond junction, they were stopped by the police and questioned. Wary of not being allowed to board the train, some started arguing with the cops. As the police threatened them of action, the migrants dared them to arrest them which led to arguments. As police started to act, the migrants retaliated by hurling stones at the police. However, as more police reinforcements came in, peace was restored.
Police sources said some were detained and released, but no offence was registered.
