The Coronavirus has stopped lives. Do not matter who you are. But, for migrant workers, the time is unimaginable. All types of problem you ask, they have seen in the lockdown.
Let it be food, shelter, living with loved once, or any help. migrant workers are struggling.
It has been 2 months since the coronavirus lockdown and they all want to go home and that isn’t too much ask for. It never can be.
Since lockdown, we are coming across many videos which are very disturbing. Now, a picture is coming isn’t any different.
In a picture tweeted by NDTV where two injured men resting their heads on the sides of an open truck along with the dead bodies at one end of the truck in Uttar Pradesh.

Very shameful, disgraceful, and inhuman act of UP Government officials who were responsible to send the bodies of the deceased gracefully instead. Also, wish these officials had sent car for the two injured migrants instead of putting them along with the dead bodies in same truck

Jharkhand’s Chief Minister Hemant Soren criticized this inhuman act.
This inhumane treatment of our migrant workers could possibly be avoided. I request .@UPGovt & Office of .@NitishKumar ‘ji to arrange suitable transportation of the deceased bodies till Jharkhand border & we will ensure adequate dignified arrangements to their homes in Bokaro. https://t.co/uJL922LElP

After outrage, the bodies were transferred in the Ambulance. This inhuman act is so horrible. We can only hope for better days to come for migrant workers but it looks like that these days are far away.
