If Someone ask you to
walk for your family and for your life. How much km will you walk in summer 42
degree temperature with 10 kilo luggage?
I would say max 150 KM
or some more and this will only I can think but some of brave souls decided to
walk 300 km,400 km in 42 degree temperature. When you heard this kind of news .One
moment you think what inspire them to do this .Really in this modern world they
are not getting transport and minimum facility for travel. Once your fuel price
dropping 15 to 20 % and you all state buses stand on bus stand .Yes this kind
of view now days is normal and you can see this on your national highway. Your city’s one of strong pillars are
moving towards their village and we are not able to provide them basic facility’s.
This blog is not about any political debate or any government success of frailer.
This write-up just about migrant laborers confidence and there pain. How come some group of people
decided to walk from one state to another state .Really we dint left any option
for them or we don’t care anymore. May be there condition very miserable and our
selfish eyes don’t want to see it because we are thinking we are sitting at home,
watching news and serving our country.
Usually I never inspired
from our Indian news channel because I personally felt they never show you real
story of the pain. They always try to sale you their own story(Product) from
there extra ordinary scary voice and you cannot find the news in that kind of noise and most of the
time main news missing in debate. only one thing inspiring us that is our Police
and Doctors standing on every square, hospitals and doing their job honestly.
One of my childhood
friend who belongs to Bhopal(MP) informed me .He is daily going to Bhopal National
Highway 146 for distributing some food, Shoes, water bottle, biscuits and medicines
to migrants people .They are coming from
Maharashtra and going towards their home
town UP\Bihar and passing from Indore\Bhopal bypass border to save their life
from covid-19 .I said very good job you are doing. Then I simply asked, why they
are moving and really their condition are worst and they have to leave there
karma bhoomi(Working place) .He replied it’s really bed situation.The are
coming from Mumbai and Pune in auto , bike,
truck in this summer. One small auto 8 to 10 people sitting .Really don’t know
how they are adjusting .some of couple coming in Activa\Bike with their two children
in this summer, Some of board yellow & black taxi from Mumbai. They don’t have proper shoes\food\water
and they decide to move from one state to another state .Really what kind of joke
is this ? They reached Bhopal and take 3
to 4 days again they have to take journey from Bhopal to their native place and
again it will take 2,3 days in covid-19 conditions. Migrant said some of the
places they did not allow to take water because peoples are thinking they might
be affected from covid -19 .I cannot describe their condition in words and you
cannot understand that word until you will watch it . I cannot take this decision
to take walk like this ☹ in my life. This walk to remember for them for
the all life .Don’t know they will come back again or not ?
Some questions are
always puzzling in my mind are:
- When they started for their home town that time they
have enough money to fill fuel and food ?
- Once they are riding bike .Is there back was paining ?
- Tier was puncher in jungle ? how they have managed?
- How lady’s was holding two children in bikes ? What stamina
they have ?
- When any heavy vehicle was passed nearby speed of 120
km so there hand was shaking for riding a like?
- Highway beam light focus was not stopping them?
- Close auto and truck they have proper ventilation ?
- After reaching home they will get good life and proper food?
- Their home town will accept them ? because they are coming from covid-19 red zone area?
