One of the Sigdi migrants, Ganesh Patar going to Bengaluru said before boarding the bus, �The Jharkhand government had assured me of a job in my native village but in spite of it, I sat idle, jobless, all this time. As such, I am being forced to leave Jharkhand and return for work to Bengaluru.� Ganesh Patar showed a permission letter issued by the related department of the Jharkhand government that allowed him to go out of the state for work.
