This is an urgent appeal for assistance to migrant workers who
are unable to reach their homes due to the current lockdown – free food,
medical care and sanitation at the very least. The sudden imposition of
a 21-day all-India lockdown on 24 March 2020, at just 4 hours’ notice,
has led to horrific consequences for many. This decision, taken without
proper planning, completely overlooked the disastrous impact it would
have on 90 percent of our labour force. Extremely disturbing reports of
the plight of lakhs of migrant labourers in different parts of the
country keep pouring in. [ . . . ]
