Stan AF Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Senior lawyers have criticized the supreme court regarding migrants crisis before the SC took up their case again today. SC was also quite callous about it.

rkt.india Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Biggest disaster of this century. Labours worked in development in their state suddenly left alone by those same state govt. Migration should not have happened in the first place.
sarcastic Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) There are numerous videos about how badly the migrant labors and their families are deeply affected by the crisis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0gV-2vsUbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4linR9SemE Reporters like Burkha Dutta are praised for their real ground work to cover these amazing stories. Yet it is surprising that there is hardly any discussion about it and how the central (and may be state) governments were so incompetent in letting this happen until this thread is opened. Instead, we have numerous posts on threads related to Cow discussion, HinduPhobia and so on. The real objective posters from ICF living in India such as @Gollum, @velu, @Ankit_Sharma and @Real McCoy should let us know why is this happening. Is this the lack of executive leadership by central government by announcing sudden lock-downs or state government's inability to let migrant labors live and go to their native places.

It should have been the job of state governments to keep those labours back instead leaving them on their own.

The state govts fed these labors as long as they were willing. How can you stop them when they wanted to leave. They want to die in their native places instead of these places where they don't have homes. Modi should have given a day or two before the first lock-down that there may be 2-3 months of lockdown coming up and hence you all go to native places in buses/trains and then start the lock down.

State govt didn't do anything. Had they done it, labours would not have left. It's the biggest disaster. Implications will be huge when there will be no labour in places like Maharashtra and Delhi who thrive on cheap outside labour. Edited June 1, 2020 by rkt.india
adi B Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Sad and shameful really ,but this the reality of India In ground level . Centre and states (Primarily) responsible for this ,migrants are sandwiched in between their fights and babu-shahi !
