    Nationwide lockdown proved especially difficult for migrant workers

    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).

  • 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.
