Coronavirus India: Death and despair as migrant workers flee cities – BBC News
India’s strict lockdown to halt the spread of coronavirus meant that most factories and businesses shut down, rendering millions jobless.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to businesses to keep paying their workers, including daily-wage labourers.
But that didn’t happen, and most of the workers were left with little money and food.
With no prospect of income, they took long journeys to go back to their villages. Some managed to get transport, but those who couldn’t, walked hundreds of miles.
And some of them never made it home as they died because of exhaustion or in accidents.
The BBC’s Vikas Pandey and Anshul Verma report.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

In a democracy people themselves responsible for their miseries. Most of these migrant workers belong from the state like UP, Bihar and west Bengal where they elect government on the basis of caste. When election comes then they vote for people like Lalu who is one of the most corrupt politician on the Earth but when they have to find a job then they don't ask Lalu for jobs rather then they move towards other states for finding jobs.

This is democratic high populated country, no western government would criticise her. Seriously if these people were given a choice, do they prefer to live like this or live like in China where hundreds of millions get out of poverty?
What is the value of democracy to poor people who could not make a decent living? Does freedom of speech in democracy mean anything when you cannot even feed yourself?
Many western government might be happy if China situation is like this.

I´ ve been in India 5 times ( one and a half year in the whole) and I´m far away from " I know India" but what I know bout Indian people is absolutely positive.
They don´t complain to much, they DO something as diligent people do.
If there is no job, ok I sell tea at the corner, mend shoes, cut grass for cows and, and and.
With all their problems those people stay friendly and helpful.
Corona cuts off everyting and they face the same problem as we have in our western countries:
The politicians in power don´t know what country they are ruling.
They sit in their palace and do not know their own people. They know about power and economic growth.
We ALL should look for other governments. In India and the European States as well!
To all the People in India: Stay healthy and God bless you .
From Germany, Namaste!
