A month after one of the most rigid international lockdowns was imposed in India to tackle the pandemic, the travails of the migrant employee have shown no indications of ending.

Lakhs of workers, who were reliant upon day-to-day and casual labour, are still stranded in Mumbai and Delhi without incomes.
