India seems to be re-entering the Corona virus crisis at the same time as last year. On the one hand, Corona's case is on the rise, and there are fears that the lockdown will be re-imposed in cities. In the midst of all this, news is also coming that migrant laborers are going back to their homes. Amid mounting sanctions, there are fears of a lockdown. Migrant laborers from other areas, including Delhi and Pune, have started returning home.

A large number of migrant workers are seen returning home at Delhi's Anand Vihar terminal. Some laborers from Bihar said that they were trapped in Delhi last time in the lockdown but this time they are already going home to prevent it from happening.

A night curfew has been imposed in Delhi due to the Koro crisis. Apart from that, many other restrictions have been imposed. Yet Corona’s case continues to rise so that migrant workers are haunted by the fear of lockdown.

The situation is similar in Pune, Maharashtra, far from Delhi. Pune railway station is witnessing huge crowds and a large number of migrant laborers are heading towards their village, the city. According to the railways, despite the huge crowds, they are working to maintain social distance and the rules are being followed.

Fear of lockdown again

It may be mentioned that many states like Delhi, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, UP have imposed night curfew in cities. Weekend lockdown is also going on in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. In Raipur, Chhattisgarh, a complete lockdown was announced so that people are afraid of another lockdown.

Millions of workers were stranded in the cities when a sudden lockdown was imposed last year. A huge crowd of migrant laborers was then seen returning to their villages on the roads.
