Workers clueless on how to obtain and pay for mandatory medical certificate; Railways allowing only 54 passengers per coach

Mumbai: “Yahan pe ghut ghut ke ji nahi sakte (It’s becoming unbearable to live here like this),” said Mohammad Hanif, a construction worker from Balrampur in Uttar Pradesh. Along with 100 others from the same district living in Saki Naka, Mr. Hanif wants to leave as soon as possible.

The announcement of special trains to be arranged by the State government to transport those stranded by the lockdown has raised the hopes of thousands of workers, who want to go back home. However, many said that they did not have enough money to get two meals a day and did not know how they could pay for the mandatory medical certificate or the ticket back home. Mr. Hanif said the group had been subsisting on just dal khichdi over the last week, which too they got once a day. “We don’t know where to get this certificate. None of us have any money for it either,” he said.
