New Delhi, May 31 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged the difficulties people faced during lockdown; he mentioned that poor and labourers were among the worst affected due to COVID-19 cases. “There is no section in our country that is unaffected by the difficulties caused by the disease. However, the worst affected are the poor and the labourers. Their pain, their agony, and their ordeal can’t be expressed in words,” said PM Modi.
After the 21 days’ lockdown was imposed, lakhs of migrant Indian labourers have lost their jobs. They have been forced to return home, hundreds of kilometres away from Indian cities.
No public transport is available. So they are left with no other option but to walk.
