Migrant workers gather at Delhi-UP border to reach their homes amid COVID-19 lockdown
Migrant workers including women and children gathered at Delhi-UP border in large numbers.
Their aim was to reach their native places amid COVID-19 lockdown.
They were seen wearing masks as precautionary measure during coronavirus pandemic.
Police were deployed in the area to keep a check on situation.
One of the migrant workers said, "Poor is facing majority of the problems. There is coronavirus, no food and no money and nowhere to go." Other one said, "I appeal to government to let us cross the border.
They are not letting us go by foot.
How will we go?" UP Government has ordered DMs to arrange buses for migrant workers who are found walking.
