The daily wagers who left their home in villages in the different states of India for a distant state for better livelihood, thinking that the grass was greener on distant pastures suffering the lockdown due to COVID 19 pandemic …jobless, penniless, helpless, frustrated, hungry, and tired..their pathetic condition is worse than death itself.

With no mode of transport available and no food to eat they are walking back miles and miles, crossing rivers,fields,endless roads in the hope of reaching home with masks on, child on shoulder, children,women and men, . Some are dying on railway tracks,and some are dying feverish and hungry and some are asked to return as they are the likely corona virus carriers.The brigade we depend upon,who build homes for us,carpenters to sewage cleaners.Desperate times.
