Compilation of the Migrant Exodus coverage in the news and media
Hey there, I just put together a compilation of news pieces in an attempt to track the on-going migrants crisis. It is a dynamic list, which I will try my best to keep updating, it can be a great help for editors trying to find reliable sources to cite. I have collected the pieces and sorted them chronologically and state-wise. I hope it helps. Here's the link to the compilation.

SerChevalerie I am still updating it as we speak, I just added a new filter, called "Categories", you can sort the data and view it by categories. Also let me know if you have any suggestions or stuff that we can do to help you out if possible.

Ashlesh007, wow that's some amazing work! Regarding suggestions to help out, I feel we could significantly expand the section on Shramik Special trains, and over time, maybe even create a
WP:CFORK article from the same (currently I have created a redirect). Additionally, we could definitely cover the initial days of migrants in more detail... I believe some clarity on their condition had been reached by the first week of April.

SerChevalerie This is interesting too, the statistic gives a figure to the crisis.
"Railways transported 31,00,000 migrants back to their homes in the special trains allocated for them between 1 May and 21 May."[1][2] (taken from
Economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in India) You can makes expansions as you want of course in this article. There was another PC today by railways about migrants. They said some interesting things too.

SerChevalerie, we have contradictory figures in the media I think, if not then this is the largest figure so far. "As many as 3,700 special trains for transporting migrants have operated between May 1-27 and 91 lakh migrants have already been shifted"The Hindu. This is larger than the 48 lakh migrants mentioned in the article for the same date period.

DiplomatTesterMan, I believe that the figure is correct, representing the total number of migrants transported by both, trains and buses. Currently I've mentioned them separately, but will mention them together for clarity.

Hey there
DiplomatTesterMan, thanks for the ping. I noticed that the article was created by you. Do you think that there is enough information to expand it to an article of its own? If not, then a redirect would be fine; I have done the same with "Shramik Special trains".

Hi
SerChevalerie. I was actually just waiting to see how much the scheme would be reported on. Inherently it seems important enough. As of now I would let it be for a few days more; after which redirecting it will be a much easier call. And if you think it should be redirected now, go ahead. We can later change it if needed.
