Earlier this month, West Bengal and the central government came face-to-face over the operation of trains. On May 9, Home Minister Amit Shah wrote a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. In the letter, Shah had said that the West Bengal government was not allowing trains carrying migrant laborers to reach the state, which could cause further problems for the workers.
