The MP Migrant Workers Project found that 90% of migrant workers who returned to the state during the COVID-19 lockdown did not receive any kind of monetary assistance.

New Delhi: Satish Ranjan* used to work in Pune as a construction worker. When the pandemic hit, he was forced to return to his home in Madhya Pradesh, like the lakhs of migrant workers who were forced to return – many by foot – as a consequence of the lockdown, which meant that they were suddenly out of a job.

The 28-year-old told The Wire that he did not receive the Rs 1,000 that was promised as assistance by the state government to daily wage workers who were stranded in other states. He also did not receive any food or ration from the government. This was partly what forced him to return home.

Ranjan says after reaching his home in Bamori of Sagar district, he attempted several times to get a ration card at his gram panchayat, but the authorities were not helpful.

Now, months after the lockdown was lifted, he has moved to Gurgaon where he works as a construction worker. He earns Rs 250-300 on days that he is able to find work, which is not very often.
