Thousands have already made their way out — and amongst them are at least 2,000 Pune Metro workers. Now, Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MahaMetro) fears that it might end up missing deadlines of the prolonged project yet again. These thousands have fled the city despite assurances from officials that they would get vaccinated and regular meals, and their dues would be cleared on time. However, the fear of infection drove them away, putting the authorities in a tough spot.
