This is extremely sad .. I saw picture of a migrant worker who after walking for eleven days, when was just close to his village, passed away in sleep overnight walking on a highway. It was sad to see such a scene of an individual who sacrifices the company of his loved ones - wife, children, parents and family, to earn and send money back home to make them live. And when he thinks that instead of earning he will now have to live by spending out of his savings or out of debt, he attempts the risk of undertaking an unimaginable marathon walk back to his home. It seems he was the unlucky one whose will power and determination proved him wrong. My obeisance and homage to all such 50 odd souls who succumbed on their way back home.
This is one very incorrect decision MODI took. India was very safe on March 25 with minimal number of cases. Instead of implementing a Demonetization style cut-off, there was need to understand the psyche and thinking and economic hardships of migrant labor. Modi should have given 3 days time for anyone and every one to move to their villages if they wanted with a communication that looking at the precedence of other countries, the lockdown series may get extended. Along with he should have provided extra trains to absorb the surge in demand for travel on specific routes.
I am sure, Modi in his heart must be repenting for this mistake.
