After a few months of relief, Coronavirus In Maharashtra is once again at its peak. Meanwhile, thousands of migrants working in Mumbai are being forced to pack their bags again amid fears of returning to their home state at any time. Hundreds of people are returning after catching the train. Thousands of migrant laborers had to migrate from Maharashtra due to the lockdown last year. This time the situation is looking worse. Last year, there were many people and organizations helping the migrant laborers, who were giving them the facilities of food, medicines, etc. But this year they are also missing.

The spokesperson of Dharavi Garments Manufacturers Association and Congress BMC Municipal Corporation Corporation Haji Babbu Khan said that this year’s situation is worst compared to 2020. Khan has also exhausted his resources of non-governmental organizations and charitable organizations. This is the reason that the situation is more serious now than in 2020.

In Maharashtra, curfew has been imposed at night, while strict restrictions and rules have been prescribed for those who go out of work during the day. In addition, lockdowns have been announced across the state during weekends.
