The Mumbai Police, which attempted to cajole them from gathering in such huge numbers, resorted to a mild lathi charge when sections of the restive crowd seemed to be going out of control.
The migrants demanded that they could not continue to live here away from their homes or families in different parts of India with the nationwide lockdown getting extended till May 3 on Tuesday.
They asked the police to make arrangements for suitable transportation facilities to enable them to go to their respective towns and villages.

A large posse of police was on the site to bring the crowd under control even as videos of the incident went viral on social media.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray's son and Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray claimed that the crowd at the Bandra station was the result of the Union government's improper planning.
"The current situation at Bandra Station, now dispersed or even the rioting in Surat is a result of the Union Govt not being able to take a call on arranging a way back home for migrant labour. They don’t want food or shelter, they want to go back home," Aaditya Thackeray said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra CMO announced that CM Uddhav Thackeray will address a press conference at 8 PM.
The number of cases in Maharashtra has risen to 2337, with at least 160 deaths.
