Labour day story of migrants

Labour day story of migrants

Today 1st May  International Labour day celebrated on the honour of labourers. Nationwide extended lockdown worsen the situation of migrant labourers. Living in under-construction building , school, temporary shelter home's everyone wants to go to native place/ home town. Some of them even started their journey by foot as public transport got closed but ended at the state borders most of state , district borders sealed by the local authority.So  migrant worker feeling like homeless , stateless finding themselves unwelcome in their own state ,own village fearing they might be carriers of the virus . Migrant labours stranded in the city , Industrial area,where they work, like lacs of other informal sector workers, migrant labourers across the country, with no work or wages for months.

Contractor left labourers without food supplies,no helping hand ,big  question for them where to head or wait till lifting lockdown without food how many days still counting.They are desperate with each passing day; they scaredr the lockdown may be extend anytime soon. “They will die of the illness later. First they will die of hunger
Even if good citizen & Government started community  kitchen to serve food to  starving people good initiative great applause to them but somewhere in their mind ,dignity of labour challenge themselves.
Lockdown may halt pace of life but it's healing time for nature, human being, people locked themselves in their home spending quality time with family.which is rare phenomenon for urbanites.Perhaps bad time for migrant workers, who are sole breadwinner of their family.

Be kind, keep your compassion alive for needy.
