Clamoring to get home, India's migrant workers stone police

More than 2,000 rural migrant workers blocked from returning home pelted Indian police with stones, officials in Gujarat said, as millions more stranded in the state readied to return to villages.

Saturday's clash in western India's Gujarat is the latest in a spate of such protests across India.
