#migrantlabour #migrantlabourwalking #IndiaMigrantLabour

    I run a small Business. We paid Complete salary of March Month. We didn't paid April month Salary to my Workers bcoz our own income itself was nil, but we paid only helping amount to them to buy oil,Dal and vegetables (govt gave them rice) for their house.

    Good job by 'The Quint' showing plights of migrant workers sufferings in various ways without job, income, rent to pay, without food, no money for ticket, etc., and Government responsibility which is totally absolved. These people may be remembering the great PM of the country late Smit. Indira Gandhi who was always for poor and downtrodden first. More particularly for girl and women.
