More than 400 people reach the Sarai Kale Khan flyover every day, driven from their villages in Bundelkhand by two back-to-back droughts

New Delhi:
Dasarath Ahirwar is hopeful he will find work.

Earlier this week, he joined dozens of other migrants under a flyover at Sarai Kale Khan in a busy intersection on the edge of east Delhi.

With him are his wife, two daughters aged two and five, and ten-year-old son.

Ahirwar had caught the overcrowded Sampark Kranti Express from his village in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh. There was just enough space for the four of them to huddle inside the packed compartment.

Like many others under the flyover, Ahirwar is a first-time migrant to this teeming city, a fugitive from drought and hunger. The flyover is conveniently located, next to a busy inter-state bus terminus and a short walk from the Nizamuddin railway station.

Under Delhi’s relentless summer sun, the family simply joined others waiting under the shade of the flyover, all waiting for work.

It’s been five days under the flyover for Ahirwar, without any sign of work.
