The study also showed that most of the workers from far away states wanted to leave at the earliest.

New Delhi: A survey of migrant workers in Gurugram, Haryana has revealed that the prolonged lockdown has left most of them without any savings and forced many to take loans. Also, while most of those who hail from far-off states like Assam, Bihar and West Bengal are keen to return to their native places at the earliest, a majority of those from nearby states like Uttar Pradesh have adopted a wait and watch approach – and their return will be contingent on whether they get a job again.

The survey, done by a citizen’s platform, Gurgaon Nagrik Ekta Manch (GNEM), that engaged with several daily wagers and informal sector workers through its food relief programmes during the lockdown, revealed the condition of these workers during the last two weeks of May. In its report, “Caught in a Bind: A Status Report on Uncertainty and Distress Amongst Gurugram’s Unorganized Workers”, the organisation has highlighted how delayed implementation of the public distribution system and withdrawal of cooked meal facilities compounded the food distress during the period.

The Manch, which in its first report in April documented distress and urged the administration to universalise the PDS, has in the second report provided a situation analysis of the conditions of workers at a time of transition out of the lockdown.
