Migrant labourers from Nagpur and Ludhiana have are moving on their own by any means of transport they could find to reach their native home amid COVID-19 lockdown on Sunday.

Some migrant workers continued to travel by trucks while some are traveling on foot and bicycles from Punjab's Ludhiana to reach their respective homes.

Meanwhile, people in Punjab who mostly are from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar said that it will take them around a week to reach their homes.
