"Yes, we are planning to do this for other states also like UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha. Lots of people are approaching us and we are trying to put things together. But since there are a lot of permissions required, whether it¡¯s the medicals of people who are travelling or the other states also accepting these migrants, that¡¯s a tedious job to be done but yes, we are on it," he told ETimes in an interview.

In another interview to Mumbai Mirror, he revealed that his team is in the final stages of putting things together to send the workers to Ranchi and Bihar.

"We are in the final stages of putting things together for Ranchi and Bihar. The paperwork is in process," he said.

Furthermore, he said that he is ensuring the safety of all passengers by following the norms.

"In these buses, half the capacity goes. For example, if the buses have a seating capacity of 50, only 20-25 per cent is sent to ensure social distancing. If it was a normal situation, we could have sent 700 people. But we could only send 300-350 people to ensure social distancing and these are the rules we need to follow."

After sending migrant workers back home, he had said that everyone deserves to be with their families at this time.

"I strongly believe that in the current times when we are all facing this global health calamity, every Indian deserves to be with their families and dear ones. I've taken official permissions from the Maharashtra and Karnataka Governments to help these migrants reach home in about ten buses," Sonu had told IANS.
