lockdown and the migrant labourers


After going through all the news related to exodus of the migrant laborers with women and children, their starvation conditions, walking several kilo meters to get into a vehicle and their inhuman treatment by the police leaves a heavy  burden on our heart .  They prefer to die due to  corona virus in the middle of their family members than   dying in metropolitan cities which have abandoned them after using their labour all along due to starvation. The center and the state governments are to be blamed for not making adequate arrangements like food and shelter and  cash compensation before announcing lock down. By looking at their sufferings we can come to only one conclusion that,  this country, India is no country suitable for the poor. God only knows what will  happen to all the schemes with allotment of crores of rupees   announced for the poor  ? Bathing the migrant laborers on the roads with bleaching powder liquid  by the police amounts to  height of barbarism  and heartlessness of the police officials responsible for this inhuman act .
