India’s migrant workers continue to walk thousands of miles as they spill out of the big cities that have been shut down because of coronavirus and return to their villages.
Footage from May 17, shows migrant workers walking on the side of a busy motorway to reach their respective homes.
According to local media, even as state governments are making arrangements for migrant workers to return home by trains, many are still walking, cycling, or traveling in transport vehicles, deemed unsafe and illegal.
The number of migrant workers killed on the roads in the last 54 days has reached 134. The majority of these deaths have occurred in the third phase of the lockdown that began on May 4.
