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. They are struggling.
It has been close to 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 video is coming isn’t any different.
Migrant workers with luggage on their heads, cross the Yamuna river in Haryana’s Kalanaur to enter Saharanpur in UP as inter-state border are closed.

The workers kept their belongings on the head, cycle and were seen crossing the river as crossing inter-state borders need permission. After the police came to know about the migrant workers they have been provided a shelter home as of now.
Whatever the government says or is doing for them the ground reality is totally different. These videos are heart-breaking.
So painful!
Even judiciary is turning the eyes!
