A great reverse migration is underway in India. From my balcony I could see long queue of people (mostly laborers), who had to move back to their native places/states. They were waiting for the registration and free rail tickets. Delhi Transport Corporation also has supplied buses, to move these people to railway station. All Indians were urged to stay at home for three weeks to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. The closure of all but essential services has made it impossible for the daily wagers/mostly laborers to live in the rented shanties of big cities. In the absence of trains and buses, central government has arranged special Trains for these people for their native places.
