Ugly side of the immigration crisis
Sixteen migrant workers who slept on the train tracks while returning to Madhya Pradesh were crushed by a freight train in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra. The migrant workers, unemployed due to the forced closure by the coronavirus and desperate to go to their places of origin, were walking on the train tracks apparently to escape the attention of the police.
Those killed and the four other migrant workers who survived were all men, authorities said. A viral video clip of the tragedy scene shows the bodies of migrant workers lying on the tracks and nearby with their scant personal belongings scattered.
Aurangabad SP Mokshada Patil said PTI that three of the four survivors had tried in vain to wake up their colleagues who had slept on the runway after a night walk from Jalna, some 40 kilometers from the crash site. The workers were walking to Bhusawal from Jalna along the train tracks as they returned to their home state of Madhya Pradesh, an official at the Karmad police station said.

The economic cost of the COVID-19 fight and the ongoing national blockade also appeared to be on the rise, as Moody’s Investors Service projects India’s economic growth at zero percent for the current prosecutor. He also said that high public debt, weak social and physical infrastructure and a fragile financial sector are facing new pressures due to the coronavirus outbreak.
According to experts, industrial establishments and other businesses may also face a severe labor shortage once they resume operations after the close, which has been in effect since March 25 and is scheduled to continue until May 17. Lakhs of migrant workers have either gone to their places of origin or are in the process of doing so, including on trains and buses organized by state governments.

After Delhi, Andhra Pradesh and several others, the Himachal Pradesh government has decided to impose a ‘coronation’ on liquor sales, while Puducherry Prime Minister V Narayanasamy also said that the territorial administration was reflecting on the imposition. of the special tax COVID-19 on liquor. out of the current fiscal crisis.
However, the Madras High Court ordered the liquor stores in Tamil Nadu to be closed a day after it reopened, but allowed liquor to be sold over the Internet and delivered to the door until the end of the closure.
The Supreme Court also asked states to consider non-direct contact or online sales and home delivery of liquor during the closing period to prevent the spread of the coronavirus due to overcrowding in stores.
The opening of liquor stores was allowed in the third phase of the closure, which began on May 4, subject to compliance with social distancing and other guidelines issued by the government.
