Prime Minister had said that the world is going through a serious phase and citizens have fought the novel coronavirus epidemic firmly. He also requested senior citizens to remain indoors for the next few weeks.
However, the declaration has triggered a massive migration of daily wage workers and construction workers, who have decided to walk back home. Thousands of men, women and children are currently stranded in Delhi's Anand Vihar bus terminal, hoping for a ride back home after the Uttar Pradesh government said they will arrange 1,000 buses to ferry these workers back home.
