It is our culture and our responsibility to look after them,” he said.
He said that if NGOs are coming forward to look after the people who want to get back to their homes but are now stranded in villages, it would be a get help to the State Government.
Thackeray said that due to the ban on public transportation there have been cases of people travelling within milk tankers, which was appalling.
He said that for helping all such people the Shiv Bhojan centres would remain operational for three hours to cater to these needy people.
