( Lockdown : ILL Effects on Migrant Workers
Answers
Answer:

The problem of migrant workers may not be entirely unique to India, but the sheer scale - there are more than 40 million migrant labourers across the country - makes it difficult to provide relief to everyone.
Most move from villages to work in the cities as domestic helpers, drivers and gardeners, or as daily-wagers on construction sites, building malls, flyovers and homes, or as street vendors.
One critic said the mismanagement of the migrant crisis and the treatment of its poorest citizens during the pandemic could be India's shame.
