India on a whole is severely being impacted due to the countrywide lockdown, the overall deaths and infections soaring both high at 1000 and 25.
To further worsen the matter there is a migrant crisis that needs attention. Migrant workers in many metropolitan cities have started going to their homes on foot since transportation services have been curbed by the Union Govt. The centre have allotted relief funds for these workers but still the workers are not reassured of the assistance.
