Stranded Migrant Workers In Kerala Desperate To Return Home

Dijan Mondal, a migrant worker in Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram managed to buy 5 kgs of rice and some crispies with the money he and some of his friends could manage to pool-in. In a multi-storey building in the heart of what used to be the district's busiest market in days before the lockdown, 80 of them from West Bengal's Malda live together in 21 rooms -- with no jobs, no money. And for the past three days, they have been surviving on one meal a day.
