Dilemma of the Daily Wagers
The backbone of our
country is in utter distress!! It is our duty to stand by them in this period
and support them to the fullest.
Coronavirus has had a huge
impact on the business sector as well as the daily wagers. Many industries are
incurring losses during this pandemic as factories are not operational during the
lockdown. In absence of any other alternative, many factory workers have been
sent home without pay or daily wages.
Migrants who earn their
living on daily wages are going through a lot of hardship. They are unable to
afford even one square meal a day. Their children are not getting enough
nutrition. There has been endless suffering in their lives during this
disastrous time. They are forced to sleep on railway platforms due to their
unfortunate condition.
There have been many instances
where migrants have been run over by trucks and buses; leaving their families in
despair and anguish. Some migrants and their children are dying due to
starvation and lack of sustenance. Families are torn apart and children stranded.
The government has
taken several steps and is trying to ensure that the migrants and daily wagers are
properly taken care of; yet, mishaps are happening. NGOs and other organisations are collaborating
with the public to arrange food and shelter for these workers. Set-ups to
galvanise support have been raised at many places across the country, where
food and shelter is provided for the helpless migrants and their families.
We live a settled and
happy life because of these people; however, we are failing in our duty to
fulfill their daily needs! Hence, in these catastrophic times; we must help them
to earn a living and look after their basic necessities.
Really thought provoking💡💡
