Thousands of migrant workers in Gujarat are undertaking long journeys to their native villages on foot. The workers, mostly tribals, travelled upwards of 250 kilometres, in the absence of public transport.

Migrant workers are forced to take this step after the Union government initiated a janata (people’s) curfew and subsequently, a 21-day nation-wide lockdown on March 25 to curb the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The workers reportedly began their journey on March 23, 2020, with some accompanied by their wives and children.

Workers from the unorganised sector — including the construction sector — and those in the informal economy across India expect to suffer long-term unemployment and a loss of their livelihoods from the lockdown.
