A large number of labourers from across the country are stranded in Delhi due to the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown.The labourers from Bihar said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should make necessary arrangements for them to travel back home amid the lockdown.

The ongoing nationwide lockdown has become a problem for a lot of labourers and daily wage earners as they don't have work and money to buy even essential goods.

"Around 600 people of Bihar live in this area and almost all are daily wagers. We face great difficulties here; it is difficult to get even the basic services during this lockdown. I request the government to come take us home," said Vyas Muni, daily wage labourer.

Nandlal Rai, another labourer said that his mother is ill, and lives in the village in Bihar. He wants to go to the village but is unable to return due to the lockdown, and is trapped in Delhi. Since he is unable to go to the village, he won't be able to get his mother treated.

The nationwide lockdown was extended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi till May 3 as a precautionary measure against the spread of the virus.
