Saharanpur: Upset over not being able to go back home, several migrants created ruckus in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur district on Sunday.

Several migrants came out of the shelter homes- where they were lodged- to protest against the government.

They marched towards Ambala highway with lathis and rods in their hands.

Heavy police force was deployed in the area to control the commotion.
