Taking a dig at the government, Jaaved Jaaferi expressed: "Why were they walking on the tracks? Because nobody organised for their return home and when someone did, they couldn't afford the ?800-?1000 tickets for the trains running on those tracks to take them home. Some die walking, some cycling. #WhoCares."
