18 migrants traveling to Lucknow inside cement-mixer caught in Indore

On Saturday, 18 migrant workers were caught as they were traveling to Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) hidden inside a cement mixer. The workers had started off from Maharashtra and were caught on their way in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The development comes a day after the Home Ministry allowed special trains to ferry migrant workers stranded in different parts of the country. Here are more details.

Driver arrested; bus being arranged for workers

Indore Deputy Superintendent of Police Umakanth Chaudhari told News18 that the driver of the vehicle has been arrested and the vehicle has been seized. Meanwhile, the workers were sent to a shelter for medical examination and a bus is being arranged for them to be sent to Uttar Pradesh. Yadav told News18 that the workers had been rendered jobless due to the lockdown.

History
Nationwide lockdown proved especially difficult for migrant workers

Since the lockdown was imposed on March 25, several laborers lost out on work. Most of these workers hail from rural areas and travel to cities for employment. Jobless, and many even evicted from their rented accommodations, lakhs of workers decided to travel to their native states. Their plight made headlines when, amid a travel shutdown, the workers crossed hundreds of kilometers on foot.

Information
Many workers also lost their lives trying to reach home

Hundreds of workers have even lost their lives on their journeys, either due to health complications stemming from their strenuous treks or accidents. A 50-year-old man died on Friday in MP's Sendhwa, after cycling 390 kilometers. He was traveling from Bhiwandi (Maharashtra) to Maharajganj (UP).

Details
Yesterday, Centre allowed trains to ferry stranded workers

For the longest time, the Centre had restricted the workers from traveling across states and directed state governments to shelter them in relief camps instead. On Wednesday, the Centre eventually allowed inter-state movement of migrant workers via buses, if they have been stranded amid the lockdown. On Friday, the Centre also allowed "Shramik Special" (Laborer Special) trains to ferry them.
