Miseries Of Migrant Workers

In this modern world, we are facing some Global problems and unemployment has been able to establish itself as one of the humongous global problems. To get some occupation people generally migrate within their home country and sometimes they migrate overseas. Migrant workers are not intended to stay permanently in their working place.

The term migrant workers and the miseries of their life came into the public domain when the first wave of covid-19 has come into our country. When the country was completely locked by the government, the migrant workers have found themselves all alone outside their Homeland. With very limited resources, they couldn't continue that unending lockdown period. Some of them had decided to stay but many of them chose to come back to their native places. When the country was completely locked, the transportation was stopped, they had no other options apart from Walking, to reach their destination. Thousands of miles, hundreds of kilometers they walked. During that unexpected horrible journey, some of them had lost their lives under the wheels of trains. Many of them breathed their last on the road.

The workers who left their homes to get jobs came back with the tag of jobless. At the time when the economy is getting down, when the Corporates are sacking Their employees, in a time when jobs became the ultimate priority to be judged as "successful". Thousands of workers give up their jobs to save their life.

In a country like India where the population seems to be one of their biggest assets sometimes that very asset converts itself as one of the giant problems. We need time and massive Government support to overcome that situation because the pandemic can be taken under control in near future but the life of those migrant workers and their families need a lot more care to bring them back to their normal life.
