Various governments in India, appear to have totally failed in their efforts to face the WUHAN CORONA crisis.
Apart from having failed in throttling the pandemic (failed extensive medical facilities, failed effective lockdowns and social distancing etc), they have failed the migrants also. They should have been given basic amenities wherever they were.
Migrations, indeed, have been disastrous for migrants. They have suffered immense miseries in attempting to go back to their respective homes.
Besides this, now the resumption of production and revival of economy will be more difficult because workers may not be not readily prepared to come back to their work.
This is because they feel that 'reaumption' of normal life is not going to be easy.
They ain't sure if they will be able to get their jobs / livelihood back again. They doubt survival on return, both because of lack of their finances, fear of continued pandemic, other health issues, to speak of the few of reasonable doubts. They suffer from lack of trust both in the governments and their employers.
It appears that the governments have failed to save both the migrants as also the national economy.
Doling out money under various packages is not gonna help because as always, greater chunk is likely to be syphoned off by certain politicians and members of bureaucracy.
It is a well known fact that famines, disaster like conditions often, unfortunately bring a smile on the faces of 'inhumans', falling in the aforesaid categories. Post announcement of '20 lakh crore package, I heard of private celebrations in certain aforesaid 'sub-humans' groups.
As usual zilch is gonna reach the needy and the national economy is all set to nosedive, if the governments do not remain 'extra alive'.
