Bihar: Reverse Migration Started with Exemption in Lockdown, Buses Started Coming to Call Workers

The workers of the state, who were forced to return home during the Corona crisis are upset with the job offer these days.  Farmers from other states are sending air-conditioned buses for them.  Real estate companies in Telangana and Tamil Nadu are sending airplanes.  Amidst this reverse migration, the Bihar government is saying that stay at home, this is where you will get employment.  Workers are in a dilemma.  Nevertheless, a large part of them is willing to return to the old place of work.  Some people are also returning.  Chief Minister Nitish Kumar says – no laborer will go out under compulsion.  Yes, workers with special skills can be offered somewhere.

Currently, luxury buses are coming from Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh to take these workers back.  The first bus came to Shivhar district.  The second and third buses came to Meenapur in Muzaffarpur district.  Now workers are waiting for buses coming from Himachal.  After the movement of trains is normal from June 1, the workers are returning from their level by cutting tickets.  But there is fear in the minds of the workers, who were left neglected by the employers during the bad times.

Reverse migration started on 3 May.  On that day, the first train carrying migrants came from Telangana to Khagaria.  222 workers had returned to Telangana on the same train in Lauti.  These workers came to the village on a holiday for Holi.  Stayed at home when the lockdown occurred.  Rail tickets were arranged for them by the sugar mill owners of Telangana in which they worked.
