Migrant labourers cycling, walking on foot in Nagpur towards their homes in Satna district of Madhya Pradesh amid coronavirus lockdown. 

"I started my journey from Nashik five days ago & it will take another six days to reach my home," said a labourer.

The lockdown has triggered many thousands of migrant workers left jobless. Many of them returned from big cities to their homes on foot. 

The Centre has directed all states and Union territories to use their State Disaster Response Fund to provide temporary accommodation, food, clothing and medical care to migrant labourers left jobless because of the lockdown.
