With 338 fresh cases and two fatalities on Friday, the total number of coronavirus cases in the national capital rose to 6,318 and the death toll to 68, while the second Shramik Special train left the city for Bihar's Muzzafarpur with 1,200 stranded migrants on board.
Also, an Air India flight brought home 234 Indian nationals from Singapore as part of the government's Vande Bharat Mission. The Boeing-787 landed at the Delhi airport around 11:45 am.
The Delhi government has said that it will pay for train travel of migrant workers stranded in the city to their native places if their home states don't respond to its communication on this matter.
According to guidelines, the Centre and the home state of migrant workers are to share the cost of the travel.
The Delhi government has already reached out to the respective states with the list of migrant workers stranded in the national capital, it said in a statement.
"Most of these states are yet to respond on the matter of bearing the travel costs of these stranded people. The Delhi government has taken the decision to bear the cost to avoid any further inconvenience to stranded workers," it added.
In a tweet, Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said, "The second Shramik Special train has left Delhi for Muzzafarpur. This train is carrying 1,200 passengers."
About AIIMS Delhi Director Dr Randeep Guleria's prediction that India's COVID-19 cases are likely to peak in June-July, he said, "Earlier also prediction were made, but the cases are less. If they say that COVID-19 cases will peak in June, it might happen. Patterns of other countries are also similar."
