Publisher Description: Indian migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic have faced multiple hardships. With factories and workplaces shut down due to the lockdown imposed in the country, millions of migrant workers had to deal with the loss of income, food shortages and uncertainty about their future. Following this, many of them and their families went hungry. Thousands of them then began walking back home, with no means of transport due to the lockdown. The severe economic downturn of Migrant workers following the consequences of lockdown measures in the country had led to an unprecedented migration of workers and families from large urban centres to rural India. |
