Piyush Goyal, Uddhav Thackeray engage in war of words over Shramik trains allotted to Maharashtra

Mumbai: Hours after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in a press release claimed that the Indian Railways had not offered him with the required variety of trains, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal issued a counter assertion dismissing the claims and blamed the state for canceling a number of trains citing lack of satisfactory security measures.

The disagreement between the leaders stems from the truth that the Maharashtra authorities claims to have given an inventory of 200 trains to the Indian Railways which the latter is vehemently denying.

While holding a video convention, Thackeray had talked about that he had put in a request for 80 Shramik trains however the Centre solely allowed 30-40 trains. He even claimed that he had ready an inventory of migrants staff in his state who need to return to their respective native states.

In a press launch on Sunday, the Central Railways mentioned: “On demands given on daily basis by nodal officers of the Government of Maharashtra, Railways have run 520 Shramik special trains carrying 7,32,166 migrant workers till 23.05.2020. The demands for Shramik special trains are given by State Government with list of travellers, their destinations and other details after consulting receiving states.”

The assertion mentioned that the Central Railways had absolutely complied with the calls for of the Maharashtra authorities and can proceed to take action.

It identified that on Sunday the railways authorities had been ready for greater than two hours for the record of passengers with particulars of their vacation spot to plan for the trains operating in Maharashtra on Monday. 

“Sadly, it has been 2.5 hours but Maharashtra Govt has been unable to give required information about tomorrow`s planned 125 trains to the GM of Central Railway. Planning takes time & we do not want trains to stand empty at the stations, so it`s impossible to plan without full details,” Goyal wrote on microblogging website Twitter.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena chief Sanjay Raut too jumped into the melee by claiming that the federal government had supplied with the record of variety of trains required. He took potshots on the Union Minister by way of tweet saying, “Maharashtra government has given the list of required trains to the Railway Ministry. The only request from Piyush Ji is that the train should reach the station at which it should arrive. The train leaving for Gorakhpur should not reach Orissa.”

Maharashtra noticed its COVID-19 tally crossing the 50Ok mark with the best single-day infections of three,041 sufferers taking the variety of psoitive instances to 50,231, with 58 deaths.
